Touques, Coastal river in Normandy, France
The Touques River stretches 108 kilometers from the Perche hills near Gacé through Normandy before reaching the English Channel at Deauville and Trouville-sur-Mer.
In August 1417, the river mouth at Touques became a strategic point when King Henry V of England chose this location to begin his invasion of France.
The river connects multiple Norman communities, including Gacé, Lisieux, and Pont-l'Évêque, supporting local fishing traditions and water-based activities throughout the region.
The river maintains official navigation status for the first 800 meters from its estuary to the Pont des Belges, with two ports located at its mouth.
The construction of Trouville-Deauville station required significant modifications to the river's course, leading to the straightening of its path and drainage of surrounding wetlands.
