Sainte Thérèse de Lisieux

Sainte Thérèse is one of the most famous french saints who had a very tough life and suffered a lot. Despite the grandiose Basilica, you can visit it's sanctuary as well as the house where she lived her youth.
You can easilly visite Lisieux on your way to Britanny or Normandy. Ideally, on your way to Mont Saint Michel or Saint-Malo, it's a perfect stop in between Paris and these two destinations.
