a small flea market but with lots of items

A small village to absolutely discover

The beautiful, well-kept, and neat facade of this building might prompt a passing pedestrian to snap a spontaneous photo. Others head to this address specifically to visit the house. However, it's not an interest in architecture that draws them here, but rather in music. The famous composer Maurice (actually Joseph-Maurice) Ravel (born 1875, died 1937) lived here. The work that most people spontaneously associate with his name is certainly "Bolero." He wrote the piece in 1928 for the Russian dancer Ida Rubenstein (1885 to 1960). Ravel himself is said to have said: "I have only created one masterpiece, and that is the Bolero; unfortunately, it contains no music."

I thought that the ruins were freely accessible. They are not, but are cordoned off. Tour costs €8.50 from 1.30 p.m. to 6 p.m.

Right next to the lobby there is a bakery. They are used to welcoming cyclists. Everything is homemade, they are very nice. Table and chairs outside sheltered for eating. I've been there twice, never disappointed.

The Château de Bonnemare is a 16th century castle which presents a rare and harmonious ensemble including a round chapel, a kitchen with a rotisserie designed by Leonardo da Vinci, a farm with a forge and a cider house. You can discover the 22 hectare park which surrounds the castle and admire the poplar avenue, the orchard and the pond. You can also stay in one of the guest rooms or gîtes which offer a charming and authentic experience of French heritage.

Mortemer Abbey is a former Cistercian monastery founded in the 12th century by King Henry I of England. The abbey is located in the heart of Lyons Forest, a beautiful beech forest offering numerous hiking and cycling trails. You can also fish in the abbey's ponds by reservation. Mortemer Abbey is a place steeped in history, nature, and mystery that is sure to enchant you.

Former residence of Maurice Ravell, who liked it here so much that he stayed several times in the half-timbered house Les Lauriers on Rue d’Enfer and was inspired to create compositions by cobblestone streets and typical Norman half-timbered houses.
