Medieval name forms, a circular hike starting in Écrainville, and literary connections to Camille Robert Désert give Sausseuzemare-en-Caux several points of interest. Visitors planning a stay can choose between a specific hiking option, local history, and literature. Le Clos Marie is a self-catering holiday home in the village.

Local History and a Circular Hike

Medieval records refer to Sausseuzemare-en-Caux in 1249 by the names “Salicosa Mara,” “Salchosa Mara,” and “Mara.” Those interested in historical place names will find three recorded forms from the same year here—a different way to explore the area than through hiking or literature.

The Circuit des Hameaux is a 14.9 km moderate circular hike starting in Écrainville. The route description heads from there towards Sausseuzemare-en-Caux. This makes the starting point and direction of travel useful reference points, while the distance and difficulty rating can help you assess whether the route suits your plans. It can be part of your travel planning without hiking having to define your entire stay.

Literary Connections and a Summer Programme

Camille Robert Désert (1893–1976) was born in Goderville and lived in Sausseuzemare-en-Caux. His book “La Rue d'enfer: heurs et malheurs d'un petit paysan de 1900, Sausseuzemare-en-Caux” was published by Bertout in 1993. It tells the story of a young farmer in 1900 and, according to its description, is set in the Pays de Maupassant. The biography and the book offer different perspectives: the village is part of Désert’s life story, while the book focuses on the farmer it describes and the setting. The dates mark three distinct contexts: 1900 refers to the farmer and the story’s timeframe, 1993 is the publication date, and Désert’s life spanned 1893 to 1976. This distinguishes the story’s timeframe, publication date, and lifespan.

In 1930, Camille Robert Désert mentioned strange, chain-like sounds coming from the cemetery in Sausseuzemare-en-Caux. This specific reference adds a historical mention of the cemetery to the literary themes.

For its summer 2026 edition, Caux’té Nuit offered summer evening walks in the municipalities of the Communauté de communes Campagne de Caux. The themes ranged from heritage and nature to stories, encounters, and unusual discoveries. The programme is tied to this summer edition; anyone planning a later trip should check separately for new editions and dates.
