Lisieux
Lisieux is in the Calvados region of Normandy. It was founded in the 5th century by St. Exupère, who named it after a village in the area. Over the centuries, Lisieux has been a major religious center, with its many abbeys and monasteries, and also a major trading hub in the region. During the Hundred Years War, the town was sacked by the English, and later by the French, during the Wars of Religion.
The town is one of the largest in the area where we were staying near Blangy le Chateau.Just outside town is the large Cerza Zoo well worth a visit. You will need the best part of a day to see all of it photos of our visit
Lisieux street
We visited Lisieux several times during our stay in Calvados.The town is a mixture of old and new you can still see some old timber framed buildings. It has a large retail park just on the edge of town which we used for our main food shopping. There is every kind of store on the site not only food.
We shopped at the E Leclerc supermarket you could buy everything you needed there and diesel cheaper than the UK.
