Lisieux
Lisieux is found in the Calvados department of Normandy, in the countryside south of Honfleur and Deauville.
The town is best known as a very important pilgrimage centre (second only to Lourdes in France). The pilgrims who visit the town are devotees of Sainte Thérèse.
The cathedral (constructed after Ste Thérese was made a saint in 1925) has an attractively decorated interior, and is one of the largest churches constructed in the last 100 years.
The second cathedral in the town is that of Saint-Pierre de Lisieux, and was one of the few important buildings in the town to escape destruction during the Second World War. It dates from the end of the 12th century.
If you are not visiting Lisieux as a devotee of Ste Thérèse you would be best visiting the town on a Saturday morning, to see and enjoy the market choc-a-bloc with local cheeses and ciders.
Lisieux is centre for the Pays d'Auge region, and a suitable base for exploring villages such as Beuvron-en-Auge or following the Normandy cider route.
