They are of a brown earth type leached throughout the massif with a silty-clay texture and are quite deep on flint clays (1 to 2 m deep) and are shallow to superficial on slopes and outcrops of Perche sands. |
| Geology | The geological layer is made up of Upper Cretaceous formations represented, over most of the territory, by sedimentary flint clays (eastern part) and Perche sands that outcrop on the slopes to the west and north of the massif. |
