LISIEUX: CAPITAL OF THE “PAYS D'AUGE”
Lisieux contains hidden treasures of the past as evidence of our town’s long and rich history. These treasures are yours to discover by visiting the Museum of Art and History.
Lisieux, the town where lived Sister Therese of the Child Jesus, the young Norman Carmelite nun, is also renowned as a place of great spirituality. The Sainte-Therese Basilica is not to be missed. Pilgrimages to Sainte-Therese take place each year (Sept/Oct).
For the sporty types, a vast hiking or mountain biking area is marked out for your use and is also suitable for families.
Lisieux’s geographic location is an ideal base from which to explore Basse-Normandie and Calvados with its manor houses, its fine food, its apple trees and the “Côte Fleurie” (flowery coast).
Located just 5 km away from the Lisieux town centre and the SNCF train station, and 30 km from the Deauville ST GATIEN Airport, the Première Classe Lisieux Hotel enjoys an excellent location and is directly accessible via the PONT L’EVEQUE exit on the A13 motorway.
