Did you know that Ry owes much of its fame to Gustave Flaubert?

This small village was the inspiration for Yonville-l’Abbaye, the emblematic setting of his famous novel Madame Bovary. In 1991, its authentic charm even seduced Claude Chabrol, who shot his film adaptation here with Isabelle Huppert in the lead role.

In addition to its literary heritage, Ry is also known for its historical heritage. The church of Saint-Sulpice, with its superb carved oak porch inspired by the Italian Renaissance, and the town hall with its picturesque covered market bear witness to its rich past. Stroll along its flower-filled lanes, past half-timbered houses and characterful facades, and let us tell you all about the history of this town of a thousand secrets. Whether you’re a fan of literary tours or cultural visits, Ry is sure to be a delightful place to discover.

In Ry, art is a story of tradition, but above all of the heart.

In this village of 800 souls, artists, craftsmen and galleries bring a unique breath of creativity to this small corner of the Seine-Maritime region.

Each alley has its own character! Take a bend in the Grand’Rue, and you’ll be surprised by La P’tite GaleRy, a haven for local artists, where paintings, sculptures and canvases rival each other in beauty.

A little further on, on the road to Blainville, push open the door of Muriel’s workshop, Graines de Fées, which honors linen and offers sewing classes for young and old. An introduction to Norman know-how that will leave you wanting to come back again and again.
