Bâlines (in French pronounced as /balin/) is a commune in the Eure department in Normandy in northern France.
In February 2021 the village was the site of a fire in which a house with a thatched roof burned down.[2] The village was home to an animal park called Le Bois des Aigles. The park was the subject of the seizure of 69 birds due to alleged animal-trafficking in January 2018, as of early 2020 no charges had been brought against the operators of the park.[3] The park was forced to close during the 2019 heatwave due to excessive heat.[4] The park was subsequently re-opened in 2020 as Domaine de la forêt enchantée, a halloween-themed amusement attraction.[5]
