The Mascaret

Located at more than 40 km of the mouth of the the Seine, Caudebec-in-Caux was considered, until worms 1960, for its Mascaret. Under certain conditions of Tide S, wind and flow of the the Seine, this one could take the shape of a wave of more than 2 meters in height which went up the Fleuve with sharp pace. It was not rare that imprudent spectators, wanting to observe it at the edge of the quays, are carried by water. But since installations of the port of the Harbor and the damming up of banks of the river, this spectacular phenomenon almost disappeared.
