In addition to oaks, hornbeams and Scots pines, the forest is home to 90 other species. But it's the beech that mainly covers the estate, making it the largest beech forest in France. The forest is criss-crossed by numerous footpaths, offering hikers a wide variety of routes.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-text stk-block-text stk-block stk-0d79778\" data-block-id=\"0d79778\"><p class=\"stk-block-text__text\">The regional park is also home to the Hauville mill-tower and the La Haye-de-Routot communal bread oven: two remarkable buildings.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-text stk-block-text stk-block stk-e81de2f\" data-block-id=\"e81de2f\"><p class=\"stk-block-text__text\">The forest's presence has been attested since Roman times, and it was later the site of a battle between Childebert and Clotaire in 537, before becoming the inhabitants' refuge from Viking attacks against Charlemagne's empire.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-text stk-block-text stk-block stk-a9ec7f9\" data-block-id=\"a9ec7f9\"><p class=\"stk-block-text__text\">Owned by the Dukes of Normandy, the Bretonne forest was returned to the royal domain under Charles VIII, saving it from fatal clearing. The estate was subsequently abandoned by the kings, and the forest became an area for timber production.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-text stk-block-text stk-block stk-d7bb97a\" data-block-id=\"d7bb97a\"><p class=\"stk-block-text__text\">The forest is important to the locals, who keep certain traditions alive, such as the May 1st mass held in the Saint-Maur chapel.
