This post located in the forest of Eu at the crossroads Isabelle dates from 1897 and gives the following directions:

- The revolving road: circuit of about 4km forbidden to the motorized vehicles, which allows of pleasant walk by VTT or on foot. on the circuit there is "le quesne à leu" (place where the last wolf of the forest of Eu was shot down), the bise (stone that smokes to announce the rain), but also a panoramic point of view where one discovers the ponds of the neighboring communes.

- The beech of the princes well known by the coast that leads us there

- The black Incheville road: this road leaves from the Isabelle pole and ends at Incheville (be careful if you take the bike down the descent is very steep)

- The road to Monchy
