Originally built in 1134, Mortemer Abbey is a former Cistercian monastery close to Lyons-la-Foret. The abbey was a gift from Henry I of England.

Over time, the abbey fell into disrepair. Despite being rebuilt in the 17th century, it stands in ruins today.

"This cross is erected on the site where five resistance fighters of the ORA (Organization of Resistance of the Army) were shot on August 23, 1944. Attacking the German troops in full retreat from the fighting in Normandy, they were surrounded, taken, tortured and shot dead on the spot. Three resistance comrades arrested a few hours later suffered the same fate. Walker, remember their sacrifice. "

Lyons-la-Forêt

Highlight • Settlement

This village in the Norman Vexin region is utterly beautiful. Its central square, all curves, has many beautiful corbelled buildings to admire. The 17th-century wooden market halls are particularly noteworthy. This village, ranked among the most beautiful in France, is included in the Pays de Lyons region.
