Holiday apartment in Le Landin: nature and history on the Seine

Between the plateau, the Seine and Val Persil

Le Landin lies on the northern edge of the Roumois plateau; towards the Seine valley, the steep chalk slope was shaped by the erosion of the river. The Côte de La Foulerie has provided access from the plateau to the Seine for thousands of years. Le Landin is also one of the municipalities encompassed by the regionally significant geological site Les méandres de la partie aval de la Seine. Those choosing a holiday apartment in Le Landin can regard this landscape as a focal point for a stay centred on river environments, geology and walks.

At Val Persil, at least 15 orchid species are found. Peregrine falcons use the cliffs at Val Persil to raise their young and hunt in the surrounding area. The former chalk quarry at Val Persil was incorporated into the Réserve biologique mixte des Landes in 2010. This landscape brings together botanical diversity, birdwatching and a geologically distinctive site – of interest if observing nature and exploring landscapes are among your holiday themes.
