Abbey of Jumierge

Rachel arrived very early Sunday morning at CDG and we met her at 7AM. She and Rebecca had wanted to spend some time in Rouen prior to our week in Paris, so we drove north/northwest. The girls had rented a room at a farm B&B near Rouen, with provision for us to park there, but first we went to the Abbey Jumierge, reputedly the oldest and most extensive in France. It did not survive the Revolution, among other things.

Ditto; Jumierge is interesting in having two churches, side by side
