Absolutely stunning. A quiet escape during a busy day with a range of architecture and artistic expressions. Both Richard and Richard II are buried here for any fans of Vikings.

a huge construction, going back to Richard Lionheart, and for some time the most important abbey until Mont St.Michel was built.

Very beautiful and imposing abbey in the historic center of FÉCAMP. Beautiful on the outside (despite its sobriety/severity) and beautiful on the inside. Do not miss the tomb of the first dukes of Normandy. They rest here. Lots to discover/see inside

This cathedral impresses with its light-flooded lightness. She is in good condition and for me a highlight in Normandy. A visit is definitely worth it! In addition, here is the historical clock that even shows the level of the tide.

An emblematic place of Fécamp. A luminous abbey church, a real place of contemplation. Visits are regularly organized by the Heritage House to learn more about its history. Must do 🙂
