Come and explore Vernon, on the bank of the river Seine! A border town between the Duchy of Normandy and the Kingdom of France, Vernon became a strategic place as early as the Middle Ages due to its geographical location. There are many remnants from this period: the Old Watermill, half-timbered houses, Notre Dame Collegiate Church, the ruins of Philip II Augustus's castle, etc. But the history of Vernon goes beyond these medieval streets, as you can see with the impressive 19th century Town Hall, the splendid Château de Bizy and the Impressionist collections in the Museum. A stone's throw away from Giverny, the town has everything you need to enjoy your stay: accommodation, restaurants and a wide range of things to see and do.

City of Vernon announces new director of Tourism

VERNON, Texas (KAUZ) - The City of Vernon has announced Haley Bounds as its new director of Main Street and tourism.

“When I am not at work, you can find me with my favorite people, enjoying the simple things in life or at a ballgame,” Bounds said.

A Windthorst native, Bounds’ love for family, pride, tradition and community began early in her life.

Bounds said she took that love with her to Stephenville, Tarleton and all the way to raising her now 11-year-old daughter, Bryar.

After that, she put her passions and purpose to work in her professional life. This included graphic design, marketing, professional relationship building and administrative work.

“Family is everything to me, and I am so very blessed to be surrounded by the best,” Bounds said. “I am grateful for the opportunity to serve as your Tourism [and] Main Street Director, and I look forward to deepening my roots here in Vernon while building upon the strong foundation paved by the wonderful people who came before me.”
