Abbaye de Jumieges

Ses tours blanches, qui s’élèvent à presque 50 mètres au fond d’une boucle de la Seine, créent toujours la surprise et l’admiration du visiteur. Sa destruction, au XIXe siècle, lui a valu le nom de «plus belle ruine de France» et l’image d’un site à ciel ouvert fortement marqué de romantisme. L’abbaye de Jumièges est un des plus anciens et des plus importants monastères bénédictins de Normandie. S’il ne reste aucun vestige apparent de l’époque de sa fondation au VIIe siècle, sa visite est une traversée de 9 siècles d’architecture, du IXe au XVIIe siècle. L’abbatiale Notre-Dame, principale église de l’abbaye, en est le fleuron, et un exemple exceptionnel d’architecture romane normande.

Without a doubt one of our favourite places when in this area of Normandy. Idyllic grounds, relaxing and immaculately looked after, the ruins are impressive and you can spend as long or as little there. There are facilities, lovely gift shop, and large games - Chess and Draughts on the lawn. Guided tours available but not necessary. Over the road is a picnic area, as they prefer you not to eat inside.

Nice, large castle down-town. Lots to do in the walls, and well maintained. Could have spent hours there.
