Vernon
Come and explore Vernon, on the bank of the river Seine!
A border town between the Duchy of Normandy and the Kingdom of France, Vernon became a strategic place as early as the Middle Ages due to its geographical location. There are many remnants from this period: the Old Watermill, half-timbered houses, Notre Dame Collegiate Church, the ruins of Philip II Augustus’s castle, etc.
But the history of Vernon goes beyond these medieval streets, as you can see with the impressive 19th century Town Hall, the splendid Château de Bizy and the Impressionist collections in the Museum. A stone’s throw away from Giverny, the town has everything you need to enjoy your stay: accommodation, restaurants and a wide range of things to see and do.
