Tœufles: Église Saint-Valéry, tufa crosses and GR 125

Tœufles lies on the small river La Trie, whose source is also within the commune. Local attractions include the Église Saint-Valéry, tufa crosses and the section of the GR 125 through the hamlet of Chaussoy. This brings cultural history and a specifically named route together. If you choose a destination for its historical features or a planned activity, these features offer different starting points for planning your trip.

Église Saint-Valéry: architectural history and art

The oldest part of the Église Saint-Valéry dates from the 13th century; its walls are made of dressed limestone and flint. The church houses a painted limestone sculpture of the Virgin and Child from the 14th century. The oldest part of the building and the artwork therefore date from different centuries. The Église Saint-Valéry is also listed as a historic monument. For travelers interested in cultural history, the church thus brings together a clearly identified building phase, a distinctive sculpture and recognized historic-monument status. The walls combine two named materials; the artwork is made of limestone and is also painted. The building and the sculpture therefore differ in their described construction and finish.

Tufa crosses in the commune

There are six tufa crosses in the territory of Tœufles. An old tufa cross stands at the foot of the choir window of the Église Saint-Valéry. The number six refers to the commune as a whole; the location by the choir window identifies a specific site for one old tufa cross. The Circuit des Croix de tuf is also part of the tourist offering. Its name explicitly refers to the theme of crosses and complements the individual crosses as a named reason to plan a cultural and historical trip.

The GR 125 through Chaussoy

The GR 125 passes through the hamlet of Chaussoy in Tœufles. The section through the Vimeu vert can be used on foot, on horseback and by mountain bike. This gives you three different ways of getting around to choose from when planning. Depending on your plans, you can include the section as a walk, a horseback ride or a mountain-bike tour. The reference to Chaussoy locates the route in Tœufles, while the three ways of getting around apply to the section through the Vimeu vert. Conditions on the route may change; check them before setting out.

La Trie and the Château de Tœufles

The River La Trie rises in Tœufles, and the village lies on this small watercourse. The source and the village have different geographic relationships: the source is in Tœufles, while the village is situated on the river. The Château de Tœufles is privately owned and is not open to visitors. Therefore, leave it out when planning a sightseeing itinerary.

Tœufles as a destination for your hotel search

If you are looking for a hotel for a trip to Tœufles, you can start by considering what brings you there. The Église Saint-Valéry and the tufa crosses form the cultural and historical focus; for the GR 125, the choice among the stated ways of getting around takes center stage. This contrast can help you plan your stay around a particular theme. If Tœufles suits your plans, use it as your destination when searching for hotels.
