티에르빌 최고의 러닝 경로

Rode it on a longboard from Saint Vaast Dieppevalle to Fecamp. Nice tarmac, quiet, not a lot of people, a lot of rest areas with table, benches, and apple trees. Superb landscapes. I loved it and will come back. What is also interesting for training is that it is never flat, with uphills that can go for 4 or 5 km, but those are around 2%, so doable. Good for inline rollers, quads, longboards.

Window in the abbey church, which Eugene Delacroix assembled from fragments he found in the ruins.

In the front of the abbey church is a stained-glass window that Eugene Delacroix reassembled from fragments he found in the ruins.

Nice church, worth a detour.

The abbey church is only slightly smaller than Notre Dame in Paris. The nave measures an impressive 127 m. Its origins date back to the 7th century. You can clearly hear the ticking of the astronomical clock. There is little pomp and yet there are artistic reliefs everywhere and the shrine with a few drops of Christ's blood. Admission is free.

In terms of length (127m), this abbey church can measure up to the great French cathedrals (Notre-Dame de Paris: 130m). The facade is classic, while the walls of the nave impress with their austere appearance. Walk around the south side and stop in front of the side portal; the tympanum of the inner door is a textbook example of Norman Gothic decoration. Above the crossing of the transept rises a 65 m high, typical Norman bell tower with a square plan (towers of Notre-Dame; 69 m).

The church of Duke Richard I burned down after a lightning strike, but was rebuilt in the 12th and 13th centuries. Changes were made afterwards (15th and 18th century). The town hall is now located in the monastery buildings on the north side.
