Château D'Ételan
The Château d'Ételan is a historical building in the ''commune'' of Saint-Maurice-d'Ételan in the Seine-Maritime département in Normandy, France. Situated on the right bank of the Seine between the Brotonne and Tancarville bridges, the Château d’Ételan commands a site overlooking the final loop of the river Seine. Originally designed as a castle, it was later converted to a 15th-century flamboyant gothic mansion. Place name It is not known if the village gave its name to the first castle, or the opposite. It was called ''Esteilant'' in 1050–1066, from the Old English ''land'' and maybe Old English ''stēġili'' that means "steep" or "sheer". Many farmers from the Danelaw had settled in Normandy with the Danes in the 10th century, which explains why there are typical Old English place name elements in the Norman toponymy, for example: ''croft'' > ''crot'' > croc(q): Vannecrocq (''Wanescrotum'' 11th century) = Walshcroft, Lincolnshire or ''stān'' > ''esta(i) ...

Meander
A meander is one of a series of regular sinuous curves in the channel of a river or other watercourse. It is produced as a watercourse erodes the sediments of an outer, concave bank ( cut bank) and deposits sediments on an inner, convex bank which is typically a point bar. The result of this coupled erosion and sedimentation is the formation of a sinuous course as the channel migrates back and forth across the axis of a floodplain. The zone within which a meandering stream periodically shifts its channel is known as a meander belt. It typically ranges from 15 to 18 times the width of the channel. Over time, meanders migrate downstream, sometimes in such a short time as to create civil engineering challenges for local municipalities attempting to maintain stable roads and bridges.Neuendorf, K.K.E., J.P.
