Sainte-Therese footsteps
At the heart of Pays d'Auge, surrounded by green areas, bathed by the Touques river, imbued with the remembrance of Sainte-Therese, boosted by its city centre, Lisieux is a pleasant town...
If Sainte-Therese Basilica is a must-see, it is more because of its proportions, location and pilgrimage than its architectural interest ... The monument stands on a hill, overlooking the city. Its construction started in 1929, and the basilica was consecrated in 1954. Sainte-Therese's fans will enjoy visiting her birthplace, the carmel she lived in as well as the museum retracing her destiny.
Lisieux religious jewel is without doubt Saint-Pierre cathedral, dating from the 12th and 13th centuries ... One of the first examples of Norman Gothic style it is said to have hosted the marriage of Henri, future King of England with Alienor d'Aquitaine...
Hardly 12 km away from Lisieux, a great zoo, Cerza zoo, devoted to the breeding and reproduction of endangered species is another must-see...> Learn more :
