The church of Mesnil-Lieubray was built at various times. The oldest parts date back to the 13th century. In the 19th century, the church was annexed by a chapel on the south wall of the choir. It has a very slender bell tower which houses a bell blessed in 1849 and still rung by hand. On your way, you will appreciate pretty houses and a dovecote.

This majestic facade located near the Casino comes from the town of Gisors. Originally, it was the facade of the chapel of the Carmelite convent built in the 17th century at the initiative of François Sublet. After the French Revolution, this building was transformed into a municipal theater before being bombed during the Second World War. Jacques Hébertot, owner of the Forges Casino in the 1950s, bought the last remaining intact vestige from the town of Gisors and erected it in the town of Forges-les-Eaux with the aim of recreating a certain historical setting.

These artificial lakes were built in the late 1980s on a peat marsh. They are spread over two levels and separated by an earth dike, valves allow the water level to be controlled. They are fed by the Andelle river which has its source upstream. The wild ponds (to the North) were deliberately left in their natural state to allow birds to nest, while The Bird Mirror (to the South) was the subject of landscaping and ornamental development with consolidation of the banks. . @OT Forges les Eaux

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.
