Roses are the signature of this tiny hilltop village in the Pays de Bray, celebrated each June with a Fête des Roses. Its half-timbered houses gather round a collegiate church begun in the 11th century, and gardens now fill the ruins of the old fortress, where William the Conqueror once fought his own son Robert Curthose in the winter of 1078–79.

Highlights

The Fête des Roses on the third Sunday of June
Henri Le Sidaner gardens, laid out in the old fortress ruins
The Collégiale Saint-Pierre, begun Romanesque and finished Gothic
Half-timbered houses in the style of nearby Normandy
The Jardin des Ifs, an English-style garden with a rose garden
