Tips from the Community
If you are interested in ancient history and megalithic monuments, you can visit the Dolmen de la Pierre Courcoulée, a stone tomb dating from the Neolithic period. You can admire the impressive puddingstone slab that covers the dolmen, measuring more than 4 meters long and weighing about 10 tons. The slab rests on four pillars of the same material, forming a chamber which was probably used for funerary rituals. The dolmen is one of the oldest and best preserved in Normandy, it has been listed as a historical monument since 1889. The Pierre Courcoulée Dolmen is a privileged place to get some fresh air and discover the local heritage.

To the west of the town center of Évreux, the church of this former monastery is surrounded by canals and arms of the Iton. A beautiful place to walk between natural and architectural jewels.

The national music school of Évreux is located in a pretty building, formerly a convent of the Capuchin Franciscans. It is located in a quite delightful setting, that of the city's botanical garden.

Nowadays, the Sec Iton plays an important role as a limiter during flood episodes, due to its ability to store surface water underground. Added to this are many legends linked, among other things, to its partly aerial and partly underground journey.

Built at the end of the 11th century by Roger III de Tosny, Lord of Conches. The thickness of the walls is 2.60m. The walls and window embrasures were coated with a layer of mortar mixed with lime and fine sand in order to give a more noble appearance to this flint construction. On the ground floor: it was the food reserve, there were no windows. 1st floor: A central well was used to supply the Château with drinking water. It was emptied in 1849. A fireplace was in each room. It was around 1417, when Conches was in English hands, that the defensive power of the keep was increased under the orders of Captal de Buch.
