The villages of Saint-Gilles-de-Crétot and Saint-Aubin-de-Crétot were originally one and only village and belonged to Saint-Georges-de-Boscherville Abbey. These two villages used to be in a forest whose thickets are now only clumps of trees. A small valley used to separate the two villages, which later became the Caudebec and Saint Gertrude Valley.
