France — Normandy

Jumièges

The most beautiful ruins in France — twin abbey towers.

The Abbey of Jumièges, founded in 654 AD and reduced to spectacular ruins by the Revolution, has been called "the most beautiful ruins in France" by Victor Hugo. Set in a meander of the Seine in the Norman Forest, it is a hauntingly beautiful half-day from Rouen.
