Le Bec-Hellouin

Eure Normandy - Paris region

Situated between Rouen and Lisieux, in a verdant setting made up of fields criss-crossed by hedges and apple trees, Le Bec-Hellouin is a typical Normandy village with timber-frame houses and flower-decked balconies. It gets its name from the stream that runs alongside it and from the founder of its famous abbey, which along with the Benedictine monastery bears witness to the great religious activity alive in the site.
