Nature and Trails
The “Val de Saâne à pied” route offers a walk along the Tortillard, a watercourse that runs alongside the Saâne. It also offers circular walks through the former villages from which Val-de-Saâne emerged. The GR212® leads as far as Imbleville.
The Saâne rises in the Pays de Caux in the territory of the former municipality of Varvannes, which is now part of the group of villages comprising Val-de-Saâne. Trout fishing is possible on the Saâne under certain conditions.
Culture
The Église Saint-Nicaise de Thièdeville dates back to the 11th century and was extensively remodelled in the 17th and 18th centuries. The Église Saint-Wandrille d’Anglesqueville was used to produce saltpetre during the French Revolution. Its façade and bell tower were completely rebuilt at the beginning of the 20th century.
