Things to see and do Seine-Maritime

Set in a part of the old Capuchin Convent (1642), this beautiful tourist office has a rich and varied documentation on the country of Bray (Seine-Maritime, Eure and Oise) and on the hikes that can be made (18 loops, from 30 minutes to 4 hours). Before exploring the city, carry a leaflet detailing the visit and provide historical explanations that are necessary to understand the past of the commune. Just next, you will notice the old public balance, locked in its small cahute (demolished in 1994).

Glass is a banal object, which is part of our daily life. But do you know the story? To satisfy all the sights, 7 000 years of glass traditions, Egyptian origins of glass to the most modern methods of manufacture, are summarized in two beautiful rooms. Why here? Because the Bresle Valley makes 80% of the world's production of high perfumery bottles, and has a great reputation in the medium: with its rich forest-producing forests, the Bresle Valley has always been one of the best glass-stained industries in France. An ancient Turkish oven, souffler cannes, but also automatic machines, slide shows and videos, or an exceptional collection of bottles of perfumes and glassware, these are the museum's little wonders.

Twelve varieties of apples are used in the production of Monique and Dominique Leroux's cider. Sweet, bitter and sour, which have matured without any pesticides, in a magnificent orchard where you will probably encounter geese. Bottling is done in the cellar, and labelling is done by hand. But this couple of apple lovers (and the electric train!) doesn't only make cider: they also make vinegar. And if you want to taste their production, nothing beats a short guided tour. You will leave with bottles whose manufacturing secret you will then know.
