Caudebec

This small village is distinguished by a fine Gothic church that Henry IV of France believed to be the most beautiful in his kingdom. Beyond the town are highly romantic ruins of Jumieges Abbey, consecrated in 1067 in the presence of William the Conqueror.

Attractions

This delightful town along the Seine is centered on the historic main square. Key architectural sights include a 15th century Church of Notre Dame, built in the flamboyant gothic style and a 13th century Maison des Templiers (House of the Knights Templar), which now houses a museum. Not far are the haunting romantic ruins of the 7th century Abbey de Jumieges, first founded in 654 during the conversion of the region to Christianity. Destroyed by Viking raiders, the Abbey was later restored in the 11th century by Viking descendants who settled in the area. The abbey ruins are the finest religious buildings of the Lower Seine
