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.

Following the well-known and signposted fruit route, you will pass by. Give pleasure to local producers who offer you apples, plums, cherries... at their door depending on the season. And have a chat with them, which will surely leave you with unforgettable memories.

It also goes a few meters away from the Seine, less stupidly. Very good streets and paths!

When we encounter the patronage of Saint Thomas, most people outside Great Britain probably think involuntarily of the time of Christ, some two thousand years back. This is because one of the twelve apostles whom Jesus called to follow him bears this name. In the Gospels, he is known as "Didymos," which means "twin" in Greek. In this case, however, the chosen patronage refers to Saint Thomas Becket (1118–1170), also known as Thomas of Canterbury after the place of his episcopal see and martyrdom. Canterbury Cathedral (Kent, England) can be visited—at least virtually—via the komoot system at the following link: =>> https://www.komoot.com/de-de/highlight/231266

The 3 bridges between Le Havre and Rouen (Normandy, Tancarville and Brotonne (the latter quite dangerous for bicycles) are very high because they have to allow passage of large tonnage boats intended to supply Paris, the Seine being an important component. These boats are then unloaded in Rouen onto smaller tonnage boats which go to Paris. This system of ferries, surprisingly free, is therefore there to compensate for this lack of possible crossings. Do not hesitate to use them, it is really a very nice plus.

There are plenty of free ferries for both bikes and cars. They run quickly and the boatmen are friendly. I think there are eight ferries in total. ☺
