Founded by Matilda around 1060, the church of the Trinity is a masterpiece of Norman Romanesque architecture.
Don't miss : the crypt and the tomb of Queen Matilda.

Magnificently restored, the 18th century convent buildings were occupied by Benedictine nuns until the Revolution. Turned first into a hospital and then a home, they have housed the Lower Normandy Regional Council offices since 1986.
Don't miss : the cloister and the grand staircase.
