The Domaine du Bois-Héroult is nestled in Seine-Maritime, between Caux and Bray, in a pretty town of Hauts Bosc on the Gallo-Roman axis which once linked Rouen (2nd most important city in Gaul after Lugdunum) to the Picardy on the one hand and England in Paris on the other. Until 1834 this axis, located on the hunting-tide route, will be used by fish deliverers supplying the capital with seafood. The Bois-Héroult estate is also the Grand Commun, the Colombier, the Vieux Colombier farm, the old presbytery.
