[FR] La création du pagus Veliocassinus va donner naissance par la suite au pays du Vexin.
Rouen étant jadis la civitas des Véliocasses, c'est-à-dire la « capitale du Vexin » est naturellement devenue siège de l'évêque métropolitain au moment de la christianisation.
[EN] The Vexin covers a verdant plateau on the right bank of the Seine comprising an area east-to-west between Pontoise and Romilly-sur-Andelle (about 20 km before Rouen), and north-to-south between Auneuil and the Seine near Vernon. The plateau is crossed by the Epte and the Andelle river valleys.
