This village in the Norman Vexin region is utterly beautiful. Its central square, all curves, has many beautiful corbelled buildings to admire. The 17th-century wooden market halls are particularly noteworthy. This village, ranked among the most beautiful in France, is included in the Pays de Lyons region.

Carved Wooden Porch of the Saint-Sulpice Church in Ry

Highlight • Monument

The Saint-Sulpice church in Ry underwent several developments from the 12th to the 19th century. These successive embellishments testify to the importance of the village, which had no less than 600 inhabitants in the 13th century. The most remarkable arrangement is undoubtedly the 16th century carved oak porch, listed MH and inspired by the Italian Renaissance.

It forms an ensemble richly decorated with biblical figures, plant elements and imaginary or warlike animal representations. An overturned boat hull vault, characteristic of Norman architecture, covers it. Remarkably well preserved, this porch is one of the most finely and richly decorated in the region, if not in France. Beyond its primary function of shelter, this porch is a true work of art, the ornaments of which bear witness to the social, military and religious history of the Renaissance.
