The geographical extension of Talou intrigued the historians. Included/understood between Roumois, Vimeu and Caux, it seems to be increased at the time Carolingian at the expense of this last. In the east, the Bresle constitutes only one partial border, its valley, except for the mouth, pertaining to Vimeu
