Article History

Jumièges, town, northwestern France, Seine-Maritime département, Normandy région, west of Rouen. It is famous for the imposing ruins of its abbey. Situated by a wood within a loop of the Seine River, the abbey, one of the great establishments of the Benedictine order, was wrecked and used as a stone quarry during the French Revolution. It was saved from complete destruction during the 19th century. The principal ruins are the abbey church of Notre-Dame, of which the facade, the two towers, and the walls of the nave are still standing. Pop. (1999) 1,714; (2014 est.) 1,778.
