This is a really lovely Cathedral with amazing ironwork and a new organ all in a setting with misericords and beautiful stonework. Considering how much damage it took in WW2 it is a must see, and right next door to a gem of a museum and art gallery housed in the Bishop's Palace with a car park right behind both . Well worth a visit.

The majestic and peaceful Abbey of Notre-Dame-du-Bec stands in the heart of the Bec valley, on the banks of the narrow river that gives the site its name. This charming abbey, which has once again housed a community of Benedictine monks since 1948, features some of the finest ecclesiastical architecture of the 17th and 18th century. The tour includes the cloister, the 15th century bell tower of Saint-Nicolas, the monastic quarters, the abbey church and concludes with a display of crafts and artefacts made by the monks.

The village of Bec - Hellouin is a gem and rightly vaunted as one of France's prettiest. We arrived and were luckily able to park near the abbey in what is a relatively small car park. There was no charge and one was almost immediately struck by the peace and calm that enveloped the whole situation. Through the main gates was the separated bell tower, a building with a small shop and a small walk away the church, which was the epitomy of simplicity. It pervaded a calmness and a quiet that was perversely so tangible. A truly lovely place and one can well understand why it is a practicing monastery. The shop contains a variety of products from a number of monasteries including jams, wines etc some ceramics made at the abbey, books and a good selection of cd's and proved an excellent way to make a contribution.
