Évreux is the capital of the Eure department in Normandy, a medium-sized city on the river Iton about an hour and a half west of Paris. It has had a turbulent history, sacked by Vikings, burned during the Hundred Years' War and heavily bombed in 1940 and 1944, but it has kept a fine Gothic cathedral, Notre-Dame d'Évreux, whose stained glass is among the best in Normandy. The former bishop's palace beside it now houses the city museum, with Gallo-Roman finds from the area.
