While they have been on a journey for days on the lands of the Duchy of Normandy, Dame Jeanne and Dame Blanche are exceptionally awaited at the Abbaye aux Dames de Caen. What a happy coincidence, when they arrive, to find themselves in good company, they who have so much to tell about their journeys... Jeanne and Blanche lead us into the golden age of the Norman Middle Ages, highlighting the daily exchanges between monasteries and the outside world. Change of scenery guaranteed!
