Labeled as one of the most beautiful villages in France, Bec-Hellouin welcomes you to a verdant landscape of groves and apple trees.

It is a typical Normandy village with half-timbered houses and flowered balconies. It takes its name from the stream that borders it and from the founder of its famous abbey which, together with the Benedictine monastery, testifies to the intense religious activity of the site.
