Gray Tower of Verneuil-sur-Avre

Highlight • Castle

This tower surprises you at the turn!

She is the witness of a terrible episode of the Hundred Years War. The Battle of Verneuil in 1424 pitted 11,000 French and their 7,000 Scottish allies against 14,000 English.

The Gray Tower is an old keep built by Philippe-Auguste in 1204 following the conquest of the Duchy of Normandy. Its name comes from a brown stone used for its construction called grison.

If you pass through Verneuil-d'Avre-et-d'Iton on a hike, you cannot miss its center thanks to the remarkable tower of the Madeleine church. Visible from afar due to its 56 meters high, it stands out for its decorations reminiscent of the Butter Tower of Notre-Dame de Paris.

Highlight • Other

Medieval heritage of the town of Verneuil which preserves numerous traces of this past and its former flourishing activities: first of all, the market square, just opposite the imposing and sumptuous Madeleine church (12th century).
