Abstract
A new fluviatile formation (the so-called Sables de la Lande de Millie res), discovered under a Holocene peat, has recorded an interglacial e vent from the Lower Pleistocene in the seuil du Cotentin region (Norma ndy, France). A multidisciplinary study (sedimentology, palynology) wa s carried out on peaty levels from the alluvial plain. Their compariso n with other Plio-Pleistocene series from northwestern Europe (Great B ritain, The Netherlands, Germany) reveals the regional climatic evolut ion during the Lower Pleistocene.
