Impressive late Gothic church with beautiful stained glass windows and an equally beautiful organ.

I loved it, it's a shame that once we got to 500m from the ferry we had to make a big detour by road to take the Quellebeuf ferry to get to Pont Audemer... but I'd do it again

Norman Abbey in Seine-Maritime. It was built in 649 and the work was not completed until the 18th century. Of Romanesque and Gothic construction, it is inhabited by Benedictine monks, it deserves to be seen!

Very nice varied path along the crystal clear Fontenelle. The path leads from the abbey to Caudebec. Dogs are allowed on a leash, legacies must be removed. Poop bags and rubbish bins only at the entrance on the Abbey side. Dogs can enter the water in many places.

The abbey is still inhabited by Benedictine monks. Please remain calm on the premises. Guided tours take place at 3:00 p.m., 3:30 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. Dogs are allowed on a leash. In the boutique you can buy all kinds of products that are produced in the abbey, e.g. honey, beer, beeswax products. There is also a model worth seeing that shows the original architecture of the abbey grounds. The path to the abbey is beautiful along the renatured Fontenelle river, which used to be a mill stream.
