Hiking

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.
