Rives-en-Seine

• The Seine Marine Museum.
• The Templar House, a local history museum that will take you to the Gallo-Roman past of Caudebec-en-Caux.
• The church of Caudebec-en-Caux, "a stone lace" wrote Victor Hugo in front of this admirable church Gothic style built between the thirteenth and sixteenth century. Come admire its splendid stained glass windows and its organ of the sixteenth century.
• The viewpoint with its orientation table on the Corniche de Rétival offers a glimpse of the city, the river and the bridge of Brotonne, a height of 68 meters (apron) and built in 1977 to unclog the old ferry from the city.
• The chapels of Barre-Y-Va, old chapels where sailors prayed and deposited ex-votos before sailing in the Seine. The chapels also contain hundreds of these offerings.
• The monument of Latham 47 is a huge monument representing a floatplane trapped in the ice. It was erected in 1931 to pay tribute to a team of rescuers who went to the North Pole three years earlier in search of lost explorers. The aircraft used for this mission, which unfortunately has never returned, was then built in Caudebec-en-Caux, Latham factory (current Revima Group).
• The city of Caudebec-en-Caux also offers many sports and leisure activities such as a cycle road crisscrossing the streets, from the banks to the Marais (and a bicycle rental magazine), a 9-hole mini golf on the theme of the Seine, an open and heated pool, a cinema with digital projector for 3D...

• The Victor Hugo Museum.
• The burials of Léopoldine Hugo and her husband Charles Vacquerie both drowned in the Seine during the sinking of their boat.
• The Saint-Martin church: this is the main church in the town of Villequier. The church Saint-Martin is classified with the historical monuments. Villequier was a fishing village, so the maritime identity remains very present in the historical heritage of the town. The main interest of the Saint-Martin church, lies in the quality of the stained glass windows of the nave, especially that of the Naval Battle of 1523 which is quite exceptional by the clarifications it brings, both on sailors and on the ships making up this scene. It is likely a fight delivered by one of Jean Ango's pilots against a Spanish galleon, bringing back treasures during the conquest of Mexico. Richard de Villequier founded in 1205 the first hospice in Caudebec-en-Caux. The church Saint-Martin then depended on the abbey of Corneville-sur-Risle. Following the Hundred Years War and the damage it suffered, it was rebuilt in the sixteenth century. The choir dates from the 17th-18th century. The statue of St. Martin whose church bears the name dates from the sixteenth century. We recognize the character giving half of his coat to a poor man. The church is open every day from 10h to 18h. Brochures on the church and stained glass windows are available inside French and English. After this visit, it is nice to take the road that climbs to the castle which offers beautiful views of the Seine, then an interesting course in the forest.
• Saint-Pierre church from Bébec to Villequier at the edge of the woods. On the heights of Villequier, on the edge of a wood, the place called Bébec welcomes the church of Saint-Pierre de Bébec. Richard de Villequier, who died in 1162, shared his territory between his three sons. Jean gets Villequier, Touffreville-la-Cable returns to Louis and Bébec to Guillaume. Bébec was attached to Villequier, because of its fluvial identity by royal decree on September 3, 1823. The boundaries have not changed since. St. Peter's Church is named after the patron saint of fishermen. It dates from the sixteenth century and was made of limestone. Its bell was melted by the foundry masters Maire and Cartenet in 1827. Identified marine graffiti of the eighteenth century are visible all around the building. Similar to those visible in Lillebonne, Saint Arnoult, Vatteville or Saint Nicolas de Bliquetuit, they often represent ships that are ex-votos of sailors or freed prisoners (we can recognize ladders and gallows). Not everyone could read at the time, images were vectors of information. Drawing on a place of worship was a sign of recognition. The people being exposed to the dangers of navigation, it could be thanks for surviving a storm. Explanatory brochures in French and English and road maps for two hiking trails are offered inside the church. Open every Sunday from 10h to 18h.
• The cemetery of Bébec: this unusual cemetery has about thirty tombs including that of Pierre Laurent, (1898 - 1967) born in Mont Saint Aignan, he settled in Villequier late 1930 for his talent as a poet. Crowned twice by the French Academy, his major work is Villequier, Pays des Roses, published in 1955. One of the peculiarities of this cemetery is that some tombs of different faiths are oriented to the reverse of others. An outer path still visible allowed access without crossing the Catholic part. There are also two unknowns from the Seine drafted in 1994 at the level of Villequier who were buried there.

Every two years, the Cider festival is held in late September in Caudebec-en-Caux. Attracting many people and much anticipated, she invites you to discover the cuisine but also local traditions. Food, entertainment, games areas are discovered every day. Parking assured.

• From February 1 to April 28,2024, discover the free exhibition Landscapes of the Norman Seine. A photographic observatory at MuséoSeine, the Musée de la Seine Normande in Caudebec-en-Caux/Rives-en-Seine. - Photographing the landscapes of the Seine valley to better understand them and appreciate their evolution is the aim of this observatory, commissioned by several regional public partners from two artist-photographers : Claire Tenu and Maxence Rifflet. - From suburban housing estates to chalk cliffs, from Sunday dips to container ships on the Tancarville canal, from the smokestacks of Port-Jérôme to the river's threads, these artists have created an eloquent and magnificent portrait of this territory, both sensitive and documentary. - The photographs selected for the exhibition offer a fresh look at both emblematic and everyday landscapes, and open up the debate : what changes are taking place in the Seine Valley today ? Faced with the social, economic and ecological challenges that intersect, what sense can we give to our actions and policies to preserve the quality of these landscapes, which constitute both the heritage and the living environment of the region ? S inhabitants ? - In partnership with the Government, the Normandy Region, the Parc naturel régional des boucles de la Seine normande, the Observatoire photographique des paysages vallée de Seine normande, CAUE 27 and 76 and Caux Seine agglo. - Caption : The canal and the Tancarville locks from the Tancarville bridge - ©Maxence Rifflet
