The Maladrerie Saint-Thomas-Becket is a former leper colony founded in the 12th century by the monks of the abbey of Fécamp. You can admire the remains of the chapel dedicated to Saint Thomas Becket, the Archbishop of Canterbury who was assassinated by King Henry II of England in 1170. You can also discover the archaeological remains of a building and a paved pool in inside the enclosure. It is a peaceful and scenic walk that will take you back in time and immerse you in the medieval atmosphere of this place.

When we encounter the patronage of Saint Thomas, most people outside Great Britain probably think involuntarily of the time of Christ, some two thousand years back. This is because one of the twelve apostles whom Jesus called to follow him bears this name. In the Gospels, he is known as "Didymos," which means "twin" in Greek.

In this case, however, the chosen patronage refers to Saint Thomas Becket (1118–1170), also known as Thomas of Canterbury after the place of his episcopal see and martyrdom. Canterbury Cathedral (Kent, England) can be visited—at least virtually—via the komoot system at the following link:
