Between 10 and 20 Kilometres
- Crèvecoeur-en-Auge Castle (11 km from Boissey ) : A unique and superbly preserved medieval site. Surrounded by water, the castle is true to its original design and there are important remains of the 11th and 12th century stone fortress and dungeon. Norman architectural museum dealing with half-timbered construction.
- The Manoir de Coupesarte (12 km from Boissey)
An ancient stronghold surrounded by water on three sides, this beautiful building serves as the main dwelling of a corps de ferme.
- Saint-Germain-de-Livet Castle (14 km from Boissey)
An original 16th century building. Stone and glazed brick checker-board construction. The building features a court-yard with archways, a guardhouse decorated with murals and a very beautiful half-timbered wing which emphasizes its charm.
- Beuvron en Auge (20 km from Boissey)
A lovely village that has preserved forty-odd half-timbered houses around the main square. The authentic décor transports the visitor to another era.
- Sainte Thérèse de Lisieux Basilica (20 km from Boissey)
Built in 1954 on the heights above the village, the basilica has become a pilgrimage site for the entire world. The size of the building bears witness to the devotion to Saint Thérèse. Work on it commenced in 1929 (4 years before Saint Thérèse’s canonization) and was completed with the consecration of the basilica on July 11th 1954.
- Cabourg (approximately 35 minutes) : Cabourg, the birthplace of sea swimming and a symbol of the Belle Époque, is a pleasant combination of seaside homes and the somewhat dated elegance of the Casino and the Grand Hotel. A geometric harmony of brightly coloured parasols on the endless beach or perhaps Cabourg with horses trotting in the early morning on the moist sand or the sandsailers drifting along on the breeze of a low tide.
- Houlgate et Port Guillaume (approximately 40 minutes)
- Honfleur (approximately 50 minutes) An historic city with a fishing port and marina, Honfleur has always looked towards the sea. It is around the old docks, threading through the narrow streets, the art galleries, restaurants, boutiques, museums and outside cafés that one discovers Honfleur’s indefinable charm.
