Vernon is just a small town and isn’t loaded with blockbuster monuments, but what it does have is a web of old streets with timber-framed houses from the 1100s up to the 1600s. The oldest bits are around the collegiate church, and it’s worth going slow so you don’t miss anything. The newer, residential parts of Vernon are still historic, and are a ...
The Old Mill is a 14th century timber house balanced between two piles belonging to the ruined medieval bridge that once connected Vernon with Vernonet. The rustic old house, with the Seine in the background is as photo-worthy as it gets, and the image regularly adorns postcards sold in Normandy. Also handsome is the castle just up the bank. The Ch...
Work began on this church in the 1000s but wouldn’t be completed for several hundred years. So, as is often the case, there’s a medley of romanesque and gothic design from different periods. The oldest parts are the choir and the transept from the late-1000s, while the ambulatory that surrounds the chancel is from the 1100s, making it one of the ol...
One of the prettiest buildings in the town, the corbelled Maison du Temps Jadis is the Tourist Office for the Eure department. Right next to the church, it should be your first destination after arriving in Vernon as you can get a map pointing out all of the significant buildings around the town. The house also deserves a photo and some admiration,...
This imposing neoclassical estate is rather unusual as it’s a real, lived-in Château . And because this is a private residence the only way to view the interior is on a guided tour, which is given in French though an information pack is provided for English visitors. You’ll hear about the aristocratic owners and the kings of France welcomed here, l...
The last remaining vestige of Vernon’s château is the circular former keep, which is in good nick considering it was built in 1123, by Henry Beauclerc, the youngest son of William the Conqueror no less. The tower is 22 metres tall and is almost identical to the Joan of Arc Tower, built around the same time in Rouen, 60 kilometres to the north. You ...
This museum is in a gorgeous townhouse belonging to the Le Moine de Bellisle family, who occupied the property from the 1400s to the 1700s. It’s one of those captivating small town attractions with a bit of everything: There are historical artefacts from around Vernon, taxidermies, a model of Vernon’s old château and a drawing cabinet with vintage ...
Ten minutes away, on the opposite side of the Seine, is the house where Claude Monet lived for more than forty years up to his death in 1926. It can be pretty moving to sit down by the lily pond in his garden and know that you’re looking at a scene that inspired a style of painting that had never been seen before. You’ll tour his house, unchanged f...
A quick 15 minutes upriver from Vernon is a little village that grew around an elegant château beneath a fearsome-looking defensive tower hewn from a chalk cliff above the Seine. You can visit the château, which is mostly from the 1700s, together with the medieval tower above it, and there’s an extraordinary stairway winding up through the chalk an...
Recognised as one of the “Notable Gardens of France”, the grounds of the Domaine of Villarceaux sprawl across 70 hectares and are connected to a manor house from the 1500s and a château from the 1700s. The most famous former resident at Villarceaux was Françoise d’Aubigné, Louis XIV’s second wife. Guided tours of these properties are available by a...
