2. Three unusual treasures
For, at least, 15 persons groups, Blainville Crevon village propose guided tours for his 3 treasures.
The oldest treasure refers to the exploration of the ruins of successive castles on the medieval site of Blainville-Crevon. Like peeling back layers of an ancient storybook, each stone reveals a chapter of history. Since 1977, this promontory has served as the stage for the Archeojazz festival—a place where echoes of the past blend with the rhythm of modern jazz, like time dancing to music across the ages.
The second treasure is located in the Collegiate Church of Saint Michael, which is itself a masterpiece of Gothic architecture. It houses the sublime golden archangel, the patron saint of the building and protector of the Catholic Church in Normandy.
The third treasure to discover is the indescribable collection of art critic Anatole Jakovsky, housed in the 'La Sirène' museum. Everyday objects from the late 19th century to the 1980s, naïve art paintings, over 5,000 art books and lithographs. An unusual and moving journey through time.
3. Norman heritage
Martainville Castle, the departmental museum of Norman traditions and arts, invites visitors on a journey through time to discover domestic life, furniture, costumes, and musical instruments, all within an exceptionally well-preserved site.
