Discover Criquetot-Le-Mauconduit

When choosing a hotel in Criquetot-Le-Mauconduit, the destination offers three concrete points of reference: its elevated location on the Caux Plateau, historical traces with clear dates, and rural offerings at Le Fruit de nos Prairies. This lets you factor the landscape, local history, and agricultural aspects into your travel plans.

Location on the Caux Plateau

Criquetot-Le-Mauconduit is situated at an elevated position on the Caux Plateau. A plateau is an elevated landform; the location description therefore connects the specific elevation with a named landscape area. If you consider landscape when choosing a destination, this provides a clear point of reference. It describes the destination as a whole and offers a different perspective from the historical dates, which relate to individual families, a foundation, and a name recorded in historical sources.

Historical traces and dates

A tombstone in the church of Criquetot-Le-Mauconduit dates from 1283 and attests to the settlement of the Mauconduit family. The Calletot family is also documented in Criquetot in the 16th century. The two dates refer to different things: the tombstone links a specific year to the Mauconduit settlement, while the Calletot family is mentioned in connection with the village during a later period.

Further dates add to this overview. A foundation dedicated to the Blessed Virgin and Saint Anthony is recorded for Criquetot-Le-Mauconduit in 1646. The name Saint Rémy de Criquetot is also documented for 1713. These details concern different historical subjects: a family settlement, a family in the village, a foundation, and a name. Together, the dates span 1283 to 1713; they can be read as several notable milestones in the village's history, from a medieval tombstone to a reference from the early 18th century.

The wider context of Haute-Normandie adds a broader regional perspective to the local history: the Mauconduit, Calletot, and Canivet families were repeatedly represented there.

Rural offerings at Le Fruit de nos Prairies

Among the rural offerings described in detail is the motorhome site at the Le Fruit de nos Prairies farm. It has six pitches; the pitch areas are grassed, and each pitch has an adjoining grassed area for relaxation. Barbecue facilities are provided. If you are planning to travel by motorhome, check the current facilities before your trip, as they may change.

The grounds are home to farm animals, including ducks, geese, cows, and horses. La Ferme de la Cour Souveraine – Le Fruit de nos Prairies sells local meat directly from the farm, produced by its own agricultural operation. This means there are two specific agricultural aspects: animals on the grounds and the sale of the farm's own products. As the livestock, product range, and service information may change, check the current details in advance if you are interested.
