Tips
This point of view offers an exceptional panorama of the Abbey of Notre-Dame du Bec, a Benedictine monastery founded in 1034 by Herluin, a knight of the Count of Brionne. The abbey is famous for having been one of the main intellectual centers of the 11th century and for having given three archbishops to Canterbury1. From the top of the hill, you can admire the majestic Saint-Nicolas tower, the 17th century cloister and the 18th century convent buildings.
