Located in the heart of beautiful Normandy, about 25 miles from Rouen, the village of Jumieges is an attractive option for a day-trip from Rouen. The charming little village nestles in a loop of the River Seine, surrounded by forests and close to a national park. The most important attraction in the village is the ruins of the 7th century Abbey of Jumièges, which was built in the Romanesque style. Although the wonderful old structure has been destroyed and rebuilt many times, it remains one of France’s most impressive and beautiful ruins. Visitors can download the Jumièges 3D App to learn about the history of the abbey before they tour the ruins and the surrounding parkland.
