On top of the Ailly cliffs remains the Saint Valery church and its graveyard, 262 feet high above the sea. Made renowned by Claude Monet’s paintings, this site is also visited for its stained-glass window created by the cubist Georges Braque who has his tombstone here. The visit continues with the chapel Saint-Dominique containing other Braque stained-glass windows, after a brief overview of the Bois des Moutiers* with its unique Art & Craft house and fantastic collection of hydrangeas blooming into a 2-hectares leafy park.
*Currently closed for renovation.
