The hamlet of Yville (Seine-Maritime), located on a hillside, was once a lordship. It is today the kingdom of the shepherdess Emmanuelle Lemaître. At the heart of a typically Norman bocage landscape, she raised there on 53 ha of 300 suffolk sheep, recognizable among a thousand with their pretty black heads matching their legs.
At the foot of its exploitation flows the heronchelles, an adorable trout stream which gave its name to the town and whose etymology recalls how the ashtones appreciate this wet valley. Sheep has long been the reason for living in his family, which has “six generations” of shepherds.
