Gournay-en-Bray

Gournay-en-Bray (French pronunciation: [guʁnɛ ɑ̃ bʁɛ], before 1962: Gournay)[3] is a commune in the Seine-Maritime department in the Normandy region in north-western France.

A town of farming and light industry, it is situated in the Pays de Bray, some 50 km (31 mi) east of Rouen, at the junction of the N 31, the D 915 and the D 930 roads.

The commune's territory includes three former parish hamlets, near the confluence of the Epte with three other smaller rivers – the Morette, Auchy and Aulnaie.

Gournay-en-Bray is twinned with Hailsham in the English County of East Sussex.

[5] A twinning charter[6] was signed in Hailsham in October 2000 and in Gournay-en-Bray in February 2001, and renewed in both towns on its 10th anniversary.
