From Paris, the shortest route is via Neuilly-sur-Seine, Saint-Germain-en-Laye and Mantes-la-Jolie. The village lies on the border between the Eure and Yvelines departments, in an unspoilt natural setting just a stone's throw from the town of Vernon. Nestled in the heart of the Vexin bossu natural region, it offers a highly undulating, hilly landscape. The Seine is just a few hundred meters away, so shipping companies on the Paris-Le Havre route regularly call here.
