Montmain: Holiday Apartments and Houses
Culture and History
The Jardins d’Angélique in Montmain are designated as a Jardin remarquable. In addition to an 18th-century manor house, they are divided into two areas: the English garden offers a labyrinth of paths and hidden corners around benches or a watercourse; the second area is a formal white garden that invites visitors to relax and dream.
The Church of Saint-Nicolas dates from the 17th century. It was extensively restored in the 18th and 19th centuries, and the sacristy was completed in 1849. Until the mid-19th century, it was a vicarial chapel of Saint Pierre de Franqueville. Historical patronage of the church lay with the Priory of Beaulieu in Rouen.
Nature
Montmain covers 604 hectares, 29 ares and 60 centiares, a large part of which is still forested. Rainwater flows through the Bois des Chartreux to the south and the Côte aux Prêtres to the north towards the Aubette valley (Epinay and Saint Aubin Epinay).
The ZNIEFF Bois du Fond de Corron covers areas in the municipalities of Bois-d'Ennebourg, Montmain and Saint-Aubin-Épinay. In the parts located in the municipalities of Montmain and Bois-d'Ennebourg, there are several wooded areas on steep to very steep slopes. Squirrels, wild boar and roe deer, among others, have been observed in the wooded habitats.
Anyone planning Montmain as a travel destination will want to rent a holiday apartment.

The “Autour de Montmain” circular hiking route is an easy 7.74-kilometre walk with an average duration of 2 hours and 30 minutes that returns to its starting point. It begins in front of the Salle Georges Brassens on Rue du Cèdre, follows a path through the Bois des Chartreux and joins the white-and-red-marked GR®25 50 metres after the Route de Lyons. The return route passes the Church of Saint-Nicolas and the cemetery.
