Bec-Hellouin Abbey was one of the most influential monasteries in medieval Europe. Founded in 1034 by a knight named Herluin, the abbey became a center of learning and culture, attracting scholars like Lanfranc and Anselm, who later became Archbishops of Canterbury. You can admire the impressive architecture of the abbey, such as the 15th century St. Nicholas Tower, the 17th century cloister and the 18th century convent buildings. You can also join Benedictine monks to pray in the church, which was once the refectory. The abbey is surrounded by a beautiful park and a vegetable garden, where you can enjoy the tranquility of nature. The abbey is open to visitors every day, except Monday, from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. and from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. You can also spend the night at the hostelry, if you wish to discover monastic life in more depth.

The ruins of Brionne Castle were built in the 11th or 12th century, and were once the center of a powerful county. Today, only the base of a tower and a partly ruined keep remain, but they offer a breathtaking view of the valley and the town of Brionne. You can access the site by a path that leaves the town center and goes up the hill.
