It is one of 28 cast-iron poles in the English style, scattered in the forest. They were installed from 1876 to 1902 at the initiative of the Duke of Aumale, the Count of Paris and Count Gaston d'Orléans, successive owners of the forest of Eu.

The poles of the forest of Eu are also unique: generally wooden in the other forests, here they have the peculiarity of being cast iron and each weigh several tons.

It is a royal forest, and it bears the marks of its history, and the poles at the crossroads of the roads also recall the glorious hunts of kings.

This post located in the forest of Eu at the crossroads Isabelle dates from 1897 and gives directions to 4 different paths.

C'est l'un des 28 poteaux en fonte, à l’allure anglaise, disséminés en forêt. Ils ont été installés de 1876 à 1902 à l’initiative du duc d’Aumale, du comte de Paris et du comte Gaston d’Orléans, propriétaires successifs de la forêt d’Eu.

Les poteaux de la forêt d’Eu sont aussi uniques : généralement en bois dans les autres forêts, ils ont ici la particularité d’être en fonte et pèsent chacun plusieurs tonnes.

Forêt royale, elle porte en elle les marques de son histoire et les poteaux aux carrefours des routes rappellent aussi les glorieuses chasses des rois.

Ce poteau situé en foret d'Eu au niveau du carrefour Isabelle date de 1897 et donne les directions vers 4 chemins différents.
