e/Forêt de Rouvray

New Query

Information
has glosseng: The once vast Forêt de Rouvray ("Forest of Rouvray", from Latin roboretum, oak forest) was a forest that extended from west of Paris in the Île-de-France region westwards into Normandy, virtually unbroken, threaded by the winding loops of the River Seine, traversed by forest traces and dotted with isolated woodland hamlets, as far as Rouen. A rural relict is the Forêt Domanial de la Londe-Rouvray, at Les Essarts, Haute-Normandie, near Saint-Étienne-du-Rouvray, south of Rouen, on an upland massif above the left bank of the Seine, which makes a wide arc enclosing it. At its eastern end, the tract of heavily used urban woodland, trails, and man-made lakes of the Bois de Boulogne, Paris, once formed part of the forest of Rouvray. The remnants of the forest have been reduced even as recently as the last few decades, prey to urban sprawl, highway construction and pollution.
