Discover Eslettes: Church, Walks and Local Life

Eslettes offers several specific points of interest for planning a trip: the Sainte-Jeanne-d'Arc parish church, walking routes, a library and local events. If you are looking for hotels in Eslettes, these attractions and their dates may influence your choice of travel period. The offerings also differ in whether they are associated with a specific date or a regularly scheduled time.

Sainte-Jeanne-d'Arc Church: Construction and Heritage Listing

The Sainte-Jeanne-d'Arc parish church was built in 1924–1925 to a design by architect Pierre Chirol, in the regionalist style, using timber framing, brick and flint. The church brings together its construction period, architecture and building materials for visitors to appreciate. For travellers interested in church architecture, the building offers a tangible cultural connection to Eslettes.

An order dated 12 September 2001 protects the church as a historic monument, including its entire grounds. Inside, behind the altar, are two stained-glass windows created by the Lorin workshops of Chartres and dedicated to the life of Joan of Arc. In addition to the protection of the entire property, the church’s fittings and their subject are also noteworthy: the windows connect the church interior with the story of Joan of Arc.

Walking: Time of Day and Route Navigation

The FRJEP walking programme offers two circular routes, each about 10 km long: one in the morning and a second in the afternoon. Since both routes are approximately the same length, their main discernible difference is the time of day. The programme also meets once a month on a Sunday for walks along Norman routes and through Normandy’s landscapes. Check the specific meeting dates and participation requirements before your trip.

Another walking option is the blue-marked Boucle E “Par Monts et par Vaux,” which passes through Eslettes. One set of route directions mentions Rue des Rivières in Eslettes. The circular route’s name, its blue markings and its connection to the area provide specific navigation cues, while the FRJEP programme primarily gives the approximate length and time of day for its two circular routes.

Events and Their Dates

Every March, the Collectif Eslettois organises the “Exposition Peinture” weekend programme. The Fête des Charmes is another local event: it was organised in Eslettes by the Mairie d'Eslettes and the Conseil Municipal des Enfants. The edition described as traditional took place on 6 June 2026. The two events therefore have different timings: the exhibition is held annually in March, while 6 June 2026 is a specific date for the Fête des Charmes. Check the dates for the relevant edition when planning your trip.

Library and Getting There

The “Les Amis du Livre” association runs and brings life to the Eslettes library, located in the school building on Rue des Bleuets. It is open to all age groups, from 0 to 99 years old. The library complements the walking and events information with a local reading option. If you plan to visit, check the opening arrangements in advance.

Eslettes is located on the A151 motorway. The municipality describes this section as one of the few toll-free stretches. The A151 can serve as a reference point for your journey; take road conditions into account when planning.
