The Pays de Caux, a vast chalk plateau in Upper Normandy, takes on a spectacular dimension where it abruptly descends into the Seine Valley. This transitional area offers a striking contrast: the intensive crops of the plateau and its traditional farms give way to wooded slopes and steep cliffs of the valley. The Seine Valley is characterized by deep meanders and a rich river heritage, blending the tranquility of ancient Norman abbeys (like Jumièges) with the bustling activity of a major port axis (Rouen, Le Havre). It is a place where limestone meets water, providing light and panoramas that have greatly inspired Impressionist painters.
