In the forest of Eu, at the post of Montauban located in Guerville, the V1 launch base is a place of memory of the bombing operations carried out by the German army during the Second World War. It is good to ask a few minutes to learn a little. Especially since explanatory panels offer essential landmarks to visitors who have free access to the places all year round. The catapults had to be impressive (400 km/h at the exit of the ramp!). And it is also difficult to imagine that these “flying” machines could have reached London and killed civilians.

The Guerville V1 launch base. At the Montauban post located in Guerville, the base is a place of memory of the bombing operations carried out by the German army during the Second World War. It is no coincidence that the Luftwaffe, the German air force, retained this area between the Bresle and Yères valleys for its bases. The deep forest of Eu, the railway line and the many forest roads offered all the favorable conditions for this project.

The site of Queen Mother Elizabeth in the forest of EU. Here you will find the stumps of two trees that were once intertwined for more than a century. A beech and an oak, planted side by side for the arrival of Queen Victoria in 1843. Entwined, they symbolized good understanding between France and England. These fusion trees had to be felled in 2013 for health reasons, but their presence in this place is still palpable. On the 100th birthday of the Queen Mother of England, then President Jacques Chirac renamed the place "Site of Queen Mother Elizabeth". It is also the starting point of the walking tour of the queen mother. This marked route will allow you to discover the charms of the panorama opening onto the Yères Valley. This circuit, equipped with comfort and information facilities (tables, benches, information panels on flora and fauna, orientation table, equipped kiosk, etc.).
