The old town of Đurđevac is beautiful remnant of the past. It is a museum on a top floor, and a restaurant on th ebase floor. It definetely worth spending some time here.

Place you have to visit when you are near Picok City, it has a long and proud history, you can learn about legend of Picok, eat dealicous food or drink a good beer. Also very good for children, there is Croatian Sahara few meters away.

?? NOT ENOUGH FOOD! This is the review for the restaurant. It's like this, in a good restaurant the food needs to be tasty and it needs to be plentiful. These are my 2 parameters. For me, price is only on 3rd place. This restaurant immediately jumped on to charge you well for the food, and somehow they forgot that the food was supposed to be tasty and that there was supposed to be enough of it. The waiters are CONFUSED. Whatever I asked them they shrugged and said “I don’t know”. There is beautiful nature around, you can have a nice walk and sightsee, there is parking nearby which is free. So my recommendation is, come for a walk, look at the camels and BRING SANDWICHES. . ?? PREMALO HRANE! Ovo je recenzija za restoran. Znači ovako, u dobrom restoranu se mora pojesti fino i moraš se moći dobro najesti. To su moja 2 parametra. Mora biti fino i mora biti obilato. Cijena mi je tek na 3.mjestu. Ovaj restoran je odmah skočio na to da vam hranu dobro naplate, a nekako su zaboravili da hrana bude fina i da je bude dovoljno. Konobari su ZBUNJENI. Što god da sam ih pitao su slijegali ramenima i govorili "ne znam". Okolo je lijepa priroda, može se super prošetat i vidjeti, ima parkinga koji je besplatan. Tako da vam je moja preporuka, došite se prošeteti, pogledajte deve i PONESITE SENDVIČE.

Abbey of Saint-Georges

Saint-Georges de Boscherville Abbey is a former Benedictine abbey. It was founded in about 1113 by Guillaume de Tancarville on the site of an earlier establishment of secular canons and settled by monks from the Abbey of Saint-Evroul. The abbey church made of Caumont stone was erected from 1113 to 1140. The Norman builders aimed to have very well-lit naves and they did this by means of tall, large windows, initially made possible by a wooden ceiling, which prevented uplift, although this was replaced by a Gothic vault in the 13th century. The chapter room was built after the abbey church and dates from the last quarter of the 12th century.

The arrival of the Maurist monks in 1659, after the disasters of the Wars of Religion, helped to get the abbey back on a firmer spiritual, architectural and economic footing. They erected a large monastic building one wing of which fitted tightly around the chapter house (which was otherwise left as it was).
