History

Formerly indicated under the name of Regional natural park of Brotonne , the Regional natural park of the Loops of the Seine Norman was created on May 17th, 1974 around the National forest of Brotonne (the first studies go back to 1966). The objective was to create a green lung between Paris and the industrial activities and harbor of the Basse-Seine. The name change took place on April 4th, 2001, following the various extensions of the PNR around the the Seine and the acceptance of the new charter (2001-2011).
