Located 25 minutes south of Rouen in a big park overlooking the river Seine, this Cistercian abbey was founded in 1189 by Richard the Lionheart. He almost drowned in the river Seine and would have vowed to build a monastery where he would be able to reach land safely. The abbey was sold as national property in 1791. Some monastic buildings from the Middle-Ages are still visible today: the Chapter House, the workshop, the cellar, the kitchens and the 13th century vaulted refectory. Don't wait, go and explore this jewel of a Norman Abbey!
