Jumièges

Jumièges (French pronunciation: [ʒymjɛʒ]) is a commune in the Seine-Maritime department in the Normandy region in north-western France.

A forestry and farming village situated in a meander of the river Seine, some 21 kilometres (13 mi) west of Rouen, at the junction of the D 65 and the D 143 roads.

A ferry service operates here, connecting the commune with the south and west sides of the river.

It is best known as the site of Jumièges Abbey, a typical Norman abbey of the Romanesque period, and the home of the pro-Norman chronicler William of Jumièges who wrote the Gesta Normannorum Ducum about 1070.

[6] The church of Notre Dame was consecrated in 1067 in the presence of William the Conqueror.
