The castle of Martainville

More than a museum, the castle of Martainville is a residence of the end of the 15th century which stands on the territory of the French commune of Martainville-Épreville.

L’abbaye de Jumièges

Jumièges Abbey is one of the oldest and most important Benedictine monasteries in Normandy.
Its white towers, which rise to almost 50 meters at the bottom of a loop of the Seine, always create surprise and admiration for the visitor.
Its destruction, in the XIXth century, earned it the name of "most beautiful ruin of France" and the image of an open-air site strongly marked of romanticism.
