This former abbey was founded by Herluin de Conteville and his wife Arlette, mother of William the Conqueror, in 1050. Despite the weather, you can still see the remains of the church, the surrounding wall and the abbey dwelling.

Gravel riding
Worthwhile facility. Admission is free and you can walk around the grounds. The detour was worth it.
