Each season displays a different palette of colours in the Caux country: April
brings the delicate pinks and whites of the apple blossom and the creamy white calves dappled with brown.

The Feudal mound at Gonfreville-Caillot

The feudal mound datingfrom the 11th century marks the on set of the chatelaines’ estates during the ducal period.Everyone had to protect themselves from the Barbarians so the mounds had square or round look
out towers and became common in the 11th century.This mound is small and is linked to the Chaillot or Callot family who were the lords in the
12th century.

It is one of the rare mounds whose moat actually held water. It is 3.5 metres high with a diametre at the top of about 13 metres which is a lot smaller
than the ordinary mounds which usually reach 25 metres. Here the maximum living space was only 50 metres. The moat is 7 metres wide and gives the mound a very specific shape, largely compared to what the German archaeologists called ‘Wasserburg’. To the north of the mound was the farmyard in a typical semi circular shape.

The Farmstead route (E6)

The farmsteads in our region are usually surrounded by trees such as oak and beech to protect them from the prevailing winds. The centuries old buildings surround the farmyard itself which is often planted with apple trees. The area
around Goderville has a designated tourist route around the farmsteads.
