Veules-les-Roses

Veules-les-Roses lies along the River Veules as it reaches the English Channel, where a narrow green valley opens through the chalk cliffs of Normandy’s Côte d’Albâtre. At about 1.2 kilometres long, the Veules is widely regarded as France’s shortest river. Its clear water runs past watercress beds, former mills and half-timbered houses before meeting the pebble beach, giving the compact settlement an intimate link between countryside and coast. Renamed Veules-les-Roses in 1897, it recalls the rose-filled gardens that accompanied its rise as a 19th-century seaside resort.
