   • Basilica of St Thérèse. This church built in St Thérèse’s honour is the second most-visited pilgrimage site in France after Lourdes. To get a picture of the fervour that Thérèse generated in the first decades of the 20th century, the entire cost of this church was paid for by donations.
   • Château de Saint-Germain-de-Livet. Cloaked in woodland outside Lisieux, this magical château dates back to the 1400s. The property was built on top of an earlier fortress, but apart from the moat you can tell that this home was designed for luxury rather than defence.
   • Les Buissonnets. The home of Saint Thérèse from the age of 4 to 15, when she joined the Carmelite convent, Les Buissonnets is a lovely 18th century property a short walk from the centre of town.
   • Musée d’Art et d’Histoire de Lisieux. With an enchanting home in one of the last remaining timber-framed houses in the town, Lisieux’s museum of history and art reopened in 2013 after a few years of renovation.
