Neufchâtel en Bray, like many other Norman towns, received its share of destruction in the WWII battles of 1940. An old Norman manor house was one of the buildings that survived, and it now houses a museum of regional traditions and crafts. Surrounded by rolling hills and apple orchards, the landscape around the town features a notch of earth called ‘the buttonhole’ which is a wedge of sedimentary layers dug by erosion.

The famous cheese of Neufchâtel en Bray is the oldest of Norman cheeses. Its manufacture is recorded in documents dating as far back as the early 11th century. It is a soft, slightly salty cheese that is still made in the local farmhouses. The cheese is produced in a variety of forms, but the most widely known is a heart shape. Neufchâtel cheese has an official appellation d'origine contrôlée, just like the world’s very best wines, so it can only be produced locally.
