A unique Romanesque abbey in Normandy. Founded by Duke Robert the Magnificent, the father of William the Conqueror, in 1032! And most of this abbey is still there and you can visit it for free!
Read more (in French) here.

If you are interested in Romanesque art&architecture (early Middle Ages) you should definitely visit this abbey once. It really is magnificent!
And the forest (see name of the village) is still mostly there too, not around the abbey but still close ;-)
