The orientation table on the Cote des Deux Amants offers an exceptional panorama of the Seine valley, the Amfreville locks, the Poses dam and the lakes of the Léry-Poses leisure centre. Legend has it that two lovers died there after trying to prove their love by running up the hill with the girl on the boy's back (hope you run without that extra person today! It's a place where nature , history and adventure collide.

A jewel of industrial heritage and Gothic architecture, the Filature Levavasseur, a former cotton mill, is now a ruin. This impressive building was built in 1857 by Baron Charles Levavasseur, a wealthy industrialist and shipowner who imported his own cotton from America. The factory was designed in the neo-Gothic style, with four octagonal towers reaching 38 meters in height. It employed up to 300 workers and produced quality fabrics until 1874, when a fire destroyed it. The mill has never been rebuilt, but it remains a remarkable site in the Andelle valley. You can admire the mill from the outside or explore its interior with caution.
