Review & FAQ:

Your visit to the Normandy region would be incomplete without taking the time to visit one of the most beautiful villages in the area. Lyons-la Forêt is located about 45km from Rouen, where it welcomes visitors with its picture-perfect architecture and surrounding beauty. The village is surrounded by an enormous beech forest where you can go walking or hiking, but the charm of this little gem lies in its beautiful half-timbered buildings and winding lanes. There are a handful of pretty café’s and coffee shops where visitors can relax and enjoy the peaceful ambiance. At the heart of the village you can explore the historic covered market place and a short walk will bring you to the Church of Saint Denis, which was built sometime between the 12th and 16th centuries.
