Beeindruckende Ruinen einer ehemaligen Benediktinerabtei. Auf dem weitläufigen Gelände lässt es sich gut 1 bis 2 Stunden (oder länger) verbringen. Überall stehen Stühle und Bänke, auf denen man Gemäuer und Umgebung in Ruhe auf sich wirken lassen kann. Der Eintritt kostet 7 € für Erwachsene (06/2023). Es werden auch Führungen angeboten. Direkt gegenüber des Eingangs befinden sich ein kostenloser Parkplatz und öffentliche Toiletten.

One of the most peaceful and hidden gems we visited during the last weeks. Lean back, soak in the atmosphere and be inspired. There are plenty changes to sit down and enjoy. Sometimes there are exhibitions in the manor closeby. During our visit, there was an exhibition of a local photographer. It was included to the entrance fee. You can park on the opposite side of the main entrance.

..zu Recht die vielleicht " schönste Ruine Frankreichs" !! ...Parkplatz davor, Eintritt von 7 € vollkommen okay ...Gelände ist riesig....es bleibt einem ein bisschen der Atem weg....unbedingt besuchen !

Die Klosterruine Jumièges gilt als schönste Ruine Frankreichs. Ihre beiden aufragenden Zwillingstürme sind bereits von weitem zu sehen. Die Abtei wurde im 7. Jarhundert erbaut und war zur damaligen Zeit eines der größten Klöster Frankreichs. Die Ruine ist auf einem weitläufigen, gepflegten Areal gelegen. In jeder Ecke gibt es neue Perspektiven und schöne Fotomotive zu entdecken. Das Grün der Ungebung in Kombination mit dem hellen Kalksteinen der Ruine und dem strahlend blauen Himmel sorgten für beste Kontraste. Kleine Sitzgelegenheit bieten die Möglichkeit inne zu halten und die Atmosphäre auf sich wirken zu lassen. Im Eingangbereich gibt es einen kleinen Shop sowie kostenlose Informationsflyer, auch in deutscher Sprache. Der Eintritt kostet für Erwachsene 7€. Für Kinder ist der Eintritt frei.

im reiseführer stand „schönste ruine frankreichs“ - dachte nicht, dass die bezeichnung so treffend ist. 🤯 das gelände ist sehr ordentlich und gepflegt, die ruine wirklich atemberaubend schön, wir waren 1 1/2 stunden hier. man verweilt gerne (es gibt sehr viele sitzmöglichkeiten) und genießt den anblick. parkplätze gibt es gegenüber auf der anderenstraßenseite, gleich neben öffentlichem WC und brasserie. wir haben 7€ pro person eintritt gezahlt - mehr als ok für dieses schöne erlebnis.

Eine Ganz tolle Ruine mit einer seh bewegten Geschichte. Ideal für alle Geschichtsfans und die, die sich zum Malen auf die bereitgestellten Stühle und Liegestühle zum Schauen setzen.

I really enjoyed walking around and seeing the big structures of the monastery. The photography exibition by Nikos Aliagas was amazing. I had a great time.

Lovely ruins that accentuate the vastness and magnitude of the Abbey from its original condition, with much more light, wind, and birds flying through. The Abbey feels like mystical and romantic ruins that are waiting to be discovered. Really enjoyed my visit, and it was a great break from other attractions.

A place sure worth visiting. We were intrigued by the history of the ruins and nature. The information leaflet we received upon entry was helpful to grasp the richness and magnitude of the abbey. The house at the far end did not meet our expectations, but we were happy to have walked down there anyway. For parents: better to use a baby carrier than a stroller to make sure you can get around the entire terrain.

Wir haben heute die Ruine der Abtei Jumièges besucht. Es war ziemlich beeindruckend und hat großen Spaß bereitet. Sehr gepflegt mit ausreichend Informationsmöglichkeiten und zu einem fairen Preis.

Wonderful ruins of an abbey built in the 900’s (yes! I did not miss a 1 there). Its history tells you the history of Normandy, the Vikings, the 100 year religious wars, the Industrial Revolution, the Romantic period — all of it. Highly recommend, can be combined with a walk in the nearby Breton Forrest.

It's my third time coming to this beautiful abbey. It gives a relaxing energy and especially a great heritage. Unfortunately, I forgot my camera but here are some shots taken with my phone.

Wonderful Abbey with an unfortunate past, its architecture stands broken and abandoned, but nevertheless beautiful and amazing. The area around it is also very beautiful

Very impressive ruined monastery in the centre of the village. There is still much to see. The guide leaflet that is included in the admission is helpful to find your way around. The grounds are large so you can keep to yourself and view the site at your own pace if you want to. There are information boards around in several languages to help you understand what you are seeing.

Extremely interesting place to visit. Monumental, long and interesting history, intriguing, beautiful park, chairs to sit and reflect, atmosphere that penetrates you. Small entrance fee of 7Eur - well worth the experience. A must visit place!

Beautiful and interesting as well as peaceful. There was also a bonus photographic exhibition that was included in the entrance fee. Well worth a visit.

A wonderful old piece of history. 6.50 Euro for a ticket is money well spend. Its a big complex from the years 645 and your free to walk around and take pictures were u like. Its also permanent under restoration. If you are in the neighbourhood, go visit.

A must see ruin if you are in the area. We spent a couple of hours exploring the abbey and ground. It's a spectacular imposing building.

Very impressive 11th century ruin with newer architectural flourishes, including Gothic arches and windows.

Stopped on our cycle tour with our Boost e-bike converted road bike. Beautiful river crossings and roads. The Abbey unfortunately has no where to keep bikes and so we couldn't go inside as we didn't have locks. Should recommend bringing them if you plan to have a walk around!

What a beautiful place ! It also has cafes and restaurants around so you can easily spend a day in the area

In just an hour you can walk around and take pictures of the main structure. But to walk along the paths deeper, it is advisable to arrive early.

Very nice abbaye. The ruins are stunning. Very poetic and romantic!

Very interesting monument. I have been there, 40 years ago. Glad to see pictures again.

A few inconveniences to start with: they close over lunch (but everyone has to eat sometime I guess) and the price of €7 is not cheap. That being said, it’s a beautifully maintained and organised building. Restoration and preservation have been done with the utmost care, and the booklet contains a lot of information. The grounds are well kept and clean so it’s really worth a stroll. People working here are friendly and helpful.

This place is absolutely stunning! Just beautiful to walk around the abbey and imagine how it could have been in previous times. Really nice place to take a nice walk around or sit in the gardens to chill with that incredible view. There’s a car park near by or even in front of the abbey you can park in town if you find a free spot. Don’t miss it because it is really worth it!

Amazing ruins of ancient church. It's very interesting walking around and discover beautiful point of view. There are many chairs to rest, I went here in january so the weather was very cloudy, but in the spring could be better. I suggest to visit during the week, when there are bit people. This Abbaye is a magic place, where closing you eyes and imagine the ancient atmosphere. The ancient trees enrich the scenery.

Jumieges Abbey 24 Rue Guillaume le Conquérant, 76480 Jumièges, France Great ruins. You can see nature attempting to grow on stones. Look for a drawing of a monk about 8 feet from the ground. Huge trees. There are benches / chairs to sit on if you need them. We were there on a sunny day. It was beautiful. Monastery founded by St. Philibert in 654. In the ninth century, it was pillaged and burnt to the ground by the Vikings, but was rebuilt on a grander scale by William Longespee, Duke of Normandy (d 942).

Jumièges is a small village in the Seine-Maritime department in the Normandy region in France. It has 1,740 inhabitants. There is the Abbey of Jumièges, a masterpiece of Romanesque architecture, founded in 654 by San Filiberto and later remodeled.

We got here an hour before the closing and it was perfect timing. There were very few people so we could really enjoy the atmosphere of this place. It's very beautiful and romantic spot.

At the time of our visit there was some art installation going on that was kind of strange, but the abbey itself is a fun place. Very gothic with it's abandoned, crumbling walls.

What a marvellous Abbey, well worth a visit.

Beautiful abbey, and full of art displays. We enjoyed it very much. It is not 5 stars because dogs are not allowed in when they could definitely be in my opinion (with maybe restricted access).

This is a hidden jewel. Full of history. The ruins are very cool. There are interesting art installations. The gardens, the trees, everything is very cool. Also the photo oportunities are beyond my expectations.

There's parking right there, the entry fee is nearly free, the restrooms are across the street and are free plus you can walk all over the place to stretch your legs. A very worthwhile stop on your Normandy road trip!!!

The Abbaye and grounds are stunning. I took so many photos! Every direction you turn, looks like something out of a history text or storybook.

Beautiful ruins and gardens

Very nice abbaye. Entrance is 7.50 for adults, and free for under 18. We walked around for about 45 Minutes.

Amazing place to spend an afternoon to view and have a walk around. The only min points are the toilets which are dirty and not under any standard for such a historic place

Totally worth coming up here to see the remains of what might have been one the greatest buildings of its kind
