Tips from the Community
For us, cycling hikers, the place is perfect. Not only is the setting absolutely superb – a building steeped in history surrounded by absolute calm – but the welcome is also warm and perfectly suited to the needs of cycle tourists. It is very appreciable to be able to leave your bikes safely in a dedicated space after a day of cycling. The comfort of the rooms, the authentic charm of the place and the quality of the breakfast allow you to leave the next day with optimal energy. The location is ideal for exploring the surrounding routes, far from the urban hustle and bustle. A favorite spot that I highly recommend to all lovers of the "petite reine" (the little queen, referring to the bicycle) looking for rest and character. An essential stop if you are passing through the Vernon or Gisors area!

In the 11th century, a chapel was built by the prior of Bézu-le-Long, dependent on the abbey of Croix Saint-Leufroy, consisting of a nave of 5 bays lit by narrow lancets. A stone choir was added in the 12th century. Around 1335, the chapel became a parish church. Around 1780, it was enlarged by two bays and its direction was reversed. The entrance is now through the choir, itself installed in the western part. Large bays were opened at this time. The new choir is adorned with an altarpiece executed in 1760 by Jacques Carbonnier (from Gisors). The painting of the baptism of Christ is by Charles Jean Baptiste Duchêne, painter in Gisors

A military fortress with a defensive purpose, built in 1097, during the reign of William the Conqueror's second son, Gisors Castle marks a major page in the medieval history of Normandy. This fortification was intended to protect the Norman possessions of the King of England against the ambitions of the King of France. A true border place and eastern lock of Normandy, it was part of a vast campaign of fortifications in the Epte Valley, the natural boundary between the two kingdoms.

We know of Saints Gervais and Protais that they were Christian martyrs in the 2nd century in Milan. At the time, the Roman Empire forced all its subjects to worship the emperor, which was unacceptable to Christians. If they refused, they were crucified or sent to the arena to be devoured by lions between gladiatorial fights. Thus, Saint Ambrose, bishop of Milan, found them, in 386, buried side by side. This great bishop affirmed that they had been martyrs by fidelity to their baptism. He even added "They are of a prodigious size, such as one was in ancient times." Their cult reached Gaul where a large number of churches were dedicated to them.
