Abbaye de Jumieges
At Abbaye de Jumieges are the impressive ruins of a Benedictine monastery, which ended after over 1,000 years with the French Revolution. The ruins are made up of the church, with its beautiful twin towers and western facade, and portions of the cloisters and library. A 500-year-old yew tree still stands in the middle of the former cloister. Choose to start, finish, or center your holiday on a trip to Abbaye de Jumieges by using our Jumieges road trip app.

These ruins are very impressive, very high. Take the flyer as it will give you a better idea of the lay out. I loved wandering around and imagening how it once was. The exposition is also nice.

Very interesting monument. I have been there, 40 years ago. Glad to see pictures again.

Lovely ruins that accentuate the vastness and magnitude of the Abbey from its original condition, with much more light, wind, and birds flying through. The Abbey feels like mystical and romantic ruins that are waiting to be discovered. Really enjoyed my visit, and it was a great break from other attractions.
