Eu Forest  The Eu forest () is one of the great forests of Seine-Maritime, in Normandy. Covering an area of , this beech forest, located in Le Petit Caux in the north-east of the department and the region, has close historical links to the Orléans family. A narrow band more than 30 km long and 5 to 6 km wide, the Eu Forest covers the easternmost part of the chalk plateau that separates the Yères and Bresle rivers to the south-east of the town of Eu. This area extends from Saint-Pierre-en-Val, near Eu to the surroundings of Aumale and Mortemer. The Eu forest is made up of several distinct zones. Immediately to the south-east of Eu is the "Triage d'Eu" (), a slender-looking forest covering a small ridge bordering the Bresle Valley and the slopes of the dry Incheville valley. Further south, the "Upper Eu Forest" (), is more massive, covering a tabular ridge of about 200m altitude. In the vicinity of Aumale, the "Lower Eu Forest" () occupies the southern end of the plateau, which is more tabular in appearance. These three massifs are separated by relatively large cultivated spaces, formerly wooded. Nearby isolated woodlands may also be included (adding a further total surface of ): the woods of Tôt, Gomard, Cuverville, Saint-Martin-le-Gaillard along the Yères, and the wood of Guimerville from the Grand-Marché to the south-east of Blangy-sur-Bresle. It is a naturally deciduous forest, but conifers were planted in the "voids" of the forest from 1900 to 1912, before this policy was extended to other Normandy forests (generally maintaining at least 90% hardwood). The National Forest Fund then further encouraged the re - encroachment of the coppice areas under single forest and coppice of private forests (throughout France ). One of the curiosities of the forest of Eu has long been the "" (or wolves' oak), 27 meters high and planted in the seventeenth century; still living despite having fallen. The Eu forest and the adjacent grasslands are a 'Natura 2000' site. The Upper Eu forest and Yères and Bresle valleys are in a "Natural zone of ecological interest, fauna and flora" ("" or "ZNIEFF").
