The abbey has a long history with construction, looting, and rebuilding. The current remains are enormous in size and downright impressive, for €7.50 you can enter.

For centuries it was a huge and important cultural intellectual center for Benedictine monks. The abbey was plundered by the Vikings, rebuilt in Romanesque style and was largely destroyed again in the 19th century. Meanwhile, it has been beautifully restored again.

A great stretch of this greenway – beautiful views of the countryside and the Seine. We really enjoyed it all the way to Saint-Wandrille-Rancon.

The Grand'Mare observatory (free) has been renovated and rebuilt for a few months after two years of work. It's a magnificent view of the birds returning en masse, and luckily, the horses roaming free. Pure bliss.

I loved it, it's a shame that once we got to 500m from the ferry we had to make a big detour by road to take the Quellebeuf ferry to get to Pont Audemer... but I'd do it again
