Evreux is a deceptively historical town with a distinguished history and has lots to see including a 44m high Gothic belfry (Tour de l’Horloge) and an impressive town hall with its fountain. There are many medieval half timbered buildings too, the usual handful of museums and the very interesting Chocolatrium which explains the history and making of chocolate. Strolling alongside the river is highly recommended and if you head towards the Miror d'Eau you will see the remains of the old ramparts and the many ancient washhouses before reaching the heart of town. Here you will find the lovely 12th century Gothic cathedral, started by England's Henry II, and the Episcopal palace which also houses a museum of art and literature.

Local food and drink specialities include Rillettes d’Oie (goose pâté), Zouzous d’Auzou (pralines with nougat) and La Louyse du Beffroi d’Evreux which is apple soaked in pommeau and then dipped in chocolate.

Should you visit the vibrant city of Rouen (about an hour's drive) don't miss its brand new attraction Cité Immersive Viking where you will learn all about the great story of the very first Normans! If you present your Brittany Ferries 澳洲幸运10十168体彩开奖网 ticket on arrival, you can benefit from a reduced entrance price.
