A great way to see the forests of Picardy and Normandy is by booking a discount hotel in Eu, France. The town stands in the deep-sided valley of the Bresle River. The chapel of the castle, which is the only part of the building still standing, was the site of the wedding of William, Duke of Normandy in 1050. The town’s chateau, dating from the 16th century, houses a fascinating museum. There has been a market in Eu for centuries and it is now held every Friday.

The best start to a tour of this beautiful area is from a discount hotel in Eu, France. The region around the Bresle is know as the Glass Valley, because of its long tradition of glassmaking. The Museum of Glass offers a fascinating look into the origins of the industry here. Nearby, visitors can explore the splendour of the Boucles de la Seine nature park. This covers 81,000 hectares of beautiful forests and open landscape, where an astonishing amount of wildlife can be seen.
