Eu: Eu Mers - Le Tréport Airport
Built around the Bresle River, Eu grew into a small Norman town beside the valley that meets the English Channel at Le Tréport. Eu Mers–Le Tréport Airport occupies open farmland on the town’s outskirts and serves light aircraft for the coastal area shared by Eu, Mers-les-Bains and Le Tréport. The Bresle valley has long been associated with glassmaking, an industry still central to its identity. Eu’s Château d’Eu was a royal residence of King Louis-Philippe in the 19th century. Nearby, Le Tréport stands beneath the Côte d’Albâtre’s chalk cliffs, while Mers-les-Bains is noted for its seafront villas. Together they place the aerodrome in a compact stretch of northern Normandy where river valley, farmland and Channel coast meet.

The River Bresle runs through this northern corner of Normandy before reaching the coast at Le Tréport. Eu belongs to the Bresle valley’s long-established glassmaking district, renowned for producing high-quality glass packaging, particularly for perfume. The Château d’Eu was a residence of King Louis-Philippe and hosted Queen Victoria during her visits to France in the 1840s. The town’s collegiate church of Notre-Dame-et-Saint-Laurent preserves a notable Gothic presence at its centre.

Among France’s regions, Normandy stands out for its Channel coast, fertile farmland and enduring links to medieval and modern European history. The English Channel frames a shoreline of broad beaches, cliffs and working ports, while the Seine crosses the eastern part of the region before reaching the sea near Le Havre. Rouen’s Gothic cathedral and the Bayeux Tapestry are major cultural reference points. Along the Calvados coast, the D-Day landing beaches recall the Allied landings of 1944. Normandy is also closely associated with cider, Camembert and dairy farming, traditions rooted in its green pastures.

The Atlantic and Mediterranean coastlines, together with the Alps, Pyrenees and broad river basins, define much of France — they support maritime trade, farming, wine regions and travel throughout the year. The Seine runs through Paris, where the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre are among Europe’s most recognised landmarks. The Loire Valley is known for Renaissance châteaux, while Mont-Saint-Michel rises from a tidal bay in Normandy. Regional food traditions are equally distinctive, from Breton seafood to Provençal cooking, with bread, cheese and wine central to everyday life. France’s global cultural influence is evident in its language, literature, fashion and cinema.
