Abbey of Saint-Georges, Boscherville
Abbey of Saint-Georges, Boscherville, Romanesque abbey in Saint-Martin-de-Boscherville, France.
The abbey church displays tall windows and vaulted ceilings constructed with Caumont stone, forming spacious naves that allow natural light throughout the structure.
Founded in 1113 by Guillaume de Tancarville, the abbey replaced an earlier establishment of secular canons and received monks from the Abbey of Saint-Evroul.
The chapter room, completed in the late 12th century, represents a significant example of French Romanesque architecture and monastic building traditions.

France has several dozen botanical gardens combining scientific research and plant conservation. The greenhouses of the National Museum of Natural History in Paris host over 4,500 species in climate-controlled zones, while the Lyon Botanical Garden cultivates around 15,000 plants divided between historic greenhouses and thematic sections. Universities such as Strasbourg maintain scientific collections over 2.5 hectares with greenhouses dating from 1881, and the Nantes Botanic Garden conserves 11,000 species, including 50 protected French varieties. These facilities document four centuries of botanical study and serve both education and research. Coastal gardens utilize temperate maritime conditions to display unusual plants. The Roscoff Exotic Garden gathers 3,500 species from the Southern Hemisphere on a rocky promontory, cultivating Australian and New Zealand plants adapted to Brittany’s climate. On the French Riviera, the Èze Garden showcases Mediterranean and succulent collections at 1,407 feet above sea level, while the Saint-Jean-de-Luz Coastal Botanical Garden focuses on Atlantic coastal species. The Grandes Bruyères Arboretum near Orléans encompasses 15,000 trees and shrubs from Europe, Asia, and North America across 34 acres, organizing plantings according to their geographic origins.
Normandy contains historical sites and natural areas away from main routes. The region features old abbeys, medieval castles, coastal villages and natural landscapes. The locations include the Benedictine Palace in Fécamp, Monet's Gardens in Giverny and the Seine Loop Natural Park.
