History buffs will head to the Lisieux’s art and history museum, where the city’s more than 2,000 years of history are told, to the WWII military cemeteries of Saint-Désir (German and British) or to the interpretation center of the Livarot Steam Engine, recalling the industrial development of the city around the production of the famous Norman cheese. Visitors with a spiritual approach will prefer the Carmel Museum on the history of pilgrimages to Lisieux and the Wax Museum on the life of Saint Thérèse of Lisieux.
