The most famous author in the region, Guy de Maupassant, has never ceased to claim loud and clear his unconditional love for his sweet country. In his new Le Horla, he writes:
"I love this country and I like to live there because I have put my roots, these deep and delicate roots, which attach a man to the land where his ancestors were born and died, who attach him to what we think and eat, the uses and foods, the local expressions, the intonations of the peasants, the smell of the soil, the villages and the air itself. "
Dotted with small coastal rivers and rivers, the Pays de Caux, just 2 hours from Paris, offers pretty real estate finds with picturesque and polychrome architecture: country house sandstone and flint, longère in pink bricks and flint, firm thatched roof, Normandy half-timbered house, manor, dovecote ...
