Veules les Roses
This needs a bit of explanation. The charming little town
of Veules is famous for two things; watercress and 'the shortest river in
France'.
What needs explaining is that the French have two words for a river: un
Fleuve, which runs into the sea,
and une Rivière, which runs into a Fleuve. The little river Veules
rises from a spring at the top of the cliffs
and runs straight through the town into the sea. It is therefore the shortest
Fleuve in France.
