Bernay

Located in the Charentonne valley between Broglie and Serquigny, Bernay extends across 124 square kilometers at an elevation of 108 meters above sea level.

Between 996 and 1008, Duke Richard II of Normandy granted this land to his wife Judith of Brittany, who established the Benedictine abbey that defines the town.

The Saturday market fills the historical center streets with local producers, continuing a tradition of commerce that dates back to medieval times.

The railway station connects Bernay to major cities including Paris, Caen, Rouen, and Deauville, making it accessible for both residents and visitors.

The Notre-Dame Abbey represents early Norman Romanesque architecture, with its original structures remaining intact despite numerous conflicts throughout French history.
