Lisieux is a city in France, located on the Touques River in the Calvados department of the Lower Normandy region, and is also a well-known tourist destination.

Although Lisieux was damaged during World War II, it still has many attractions worth visiting. The Basilica of Sainte-Thérèse de Lisieux, built in honor of Saint Thérèse of Lisieux, is one of the largest church buildings in France, capable of accommodating 4,000 people. The Saint Peter's Cathedral is a historic relic that survived World War II. Visitors can also explore the Lisieux Museum of History and Art to learn about the area’s long history and admire precious paintings and artworks.

The 18th-century town hall, the nearby Château de Saint-Germain-de-Livet, ancient castles, beautiful medieval manors, and the Bishops' Garden are all worth a detailed visit.
