Auffay is a commune of 2000 inhabitants, it is located on the Rouen – Dieppe axis and known for its Collegiale Notre-Dame and its famous jacquemarts, Houzou Benard and Paquet Sivière and also for the Château du Bosmelet, which houses the collections of Mr. Alain Germain, opera director.

The history of Altafagus begins on the site of the old feudal motte.

Around 1060, Auffay was a lordship ruled by the Lord of Heugleville, Richard, who donated his few lands to his son Gilbert. This one thus built in the XIth century a fortress because Auffay was located on the road of the barbarian invasions. This fortress was built on a mound crowned with high beech trees, “altafagus“, which gave the name to the locality of Auffay.

Gilbert d’Heugleville fought alongside William the Conqueror’s companions at Hastings, and then upon his return from England, he set about developing the prosperity of Auffay.

There are now no traces of this fortress or its ruins. After the construction of a red brick house in the 19th century, the site of the former fortress gave way to a housing estate.

Quiberville-sur-Mer, a seaside resort since 1895, has all the charm of small seaside resorts and the calm of the countryside!

Its architecture will walk you between seaside villas and fishermen’s houses. Prized since the nineteenth century with the advent of the Sea Baths in Dieppe, the town of Quiberville sur Mer acquires equipment to become a real seaside resort in 1895. Bathing establishments, cabins, hotels, small houses for rent and local shops flourished then on the beach, and fishermen’s houses were seen alongside sumptuous seaside villas like La Rafale, which you can see as you go up to the village.
