Basilica was closed when we got there. We went too early. Check the schedule before going. We only saw the surroundings and not the inside. We couldn't stay longer due to our structured schedule. We were a big group of pilgrims and needed to keep our schedules. Hopefully, we can return in the future🙏. You can also visit the Chapel of St. Therese, which is a few miles away from the Basilica.

Being a complete Cathedral/Church fanatic, I was more than pleased to get the opportunity to visit this amazing place . Lisieux is an amazing commune In Normandy and seems a wonderful place to live . The Cathedrale Saint Pierre de Lisieux just one of its attractions . I spent about an hour and a half in here and loved it very peaceful . I lit a candle, said a prayer for mum, and dad and admired the wonderful architecture . I particularly loved the alter with an illuminated Christ underneath it guarded by two angels I believe . It stands in a rather attractive market square . Well worth visiting in my humble opinion . Oh I loved the crucifix too .

This is just such a beautiful chateau - has to be seen. Not grand - and we only walked round the outside (the inside was closed to visitors) but it was well worth the drive from Trouville. A baking hot day when we visited so the cool of the neighbouring tea rooms was most welcome as were the refreshing pots of specialist teas. A delightful place to spend a couple of hours if you are in the area. Check opening times (closes at lunchtime) - parking opposite is free.

Unbelievable experience visiting childhood home of St. Therese! I had to pinch myself! We had to wait a little bit on arrival. Only a limited number of people are allowed in at one time. We were only 2 Americans. They took 2 large groups of French speakers first then us 2 alone. There is an audio recording detailing each room so we had the tour in English. It is a short but very moving tour. You enter where the kitchen once was, and then see the family dining room. Climbing the original staircase where Therese overheard her father lamenting when would she grow up after Christmas Midnight Mass you enter her bedroom. The bed she slept is still there and I burst into tears sitting on a bench near it listening to the tale of Mother Mary appearing to her there. You also see her father, St Louis's bedroom. Then back down to small gift shop and display of her personal items: toys, clothes, rosary, cross, etc... The exit is through a small garden with statue of her and her father. Free of charge. Donation.

A beautiful spiritual place where one can restore their soul. Nice little chapel with small free museum on the life of Saint Therese as a Carmelite. Very nice bookstore/gift shop next door.

Beautiful and nice lunch terrace opposite,

Perfect for a small break (1-2 hours) with kids. The kids pool is heated 30° and they have a bunch of toys/activities, including outside bouncy castle (if the temperature allows for outside play)

Very nice exposition in an ancient house, giving a live feeling of the city's history
