Renowned for its tall trees giving it a "cathedral" appearance, the Lyons forest is the largest beech forest in France and one of the largest beech forests in Europe. It is also the largest forest in Normandy. The 10,700 hectares of this national forest, crossed by hundreds of kilometers of trails, make it one of the most beautiful playgrounds for outdoor recreation in Normandy. Once a royal forest prized by the kings of France and the dukes of Normandy who were hunting enthusiasts, this particularly game-rich forest is still home to remarkable wildlife (OT Lyons Andelle)

The church was built in two different periods. The porch, a constituent element of a rural church, allowed non-baptized or penitent people to have access to the religious building while remaining outside the sacred space. The old framework dated from 1761, it was replaced in 2023. The rest of the church, in neo-Gothic style, was built in the second half of the 19th century.

A little-known gem in the heart of the Brayon countryside, this chapel, dedicated to Notre-Dame, is an elegant Romanesque construction in limestone rubble covered with small flat tiles. It is said to have been built by monks from England, after the conquest of William the Conqueror. The building is distinguished by its octagonal bell tower with four superimposed canopies (raised by a metal lantern) which surmounts the crossing of the transept, but especially by its horizontal ceiling composed of eight transverse beams connected by exposed joists. The discovery of surprising paintings dating from the 13th century allowed the monument to be registered as a Historic Monument. The quantity and quality of these paintings today classify it among the jewels of Upper Normandy heritage.
