Les Andelys and Château Gaillard
-
The twin villages of Grand and Petit Andelys enjoy a glorious setting on a lazy curve of the Seine in the shadow of the pale ruins of Richard the Lionheart’s Château Gaillard, built at break-neck speed in 1196 to prevent Philippe Auguste from reaching Rouen. Below lie the winding streets of tranquil, timbered Petit Andely, and more commercial Grand Andely, with a fine 16th-to 17th-century church and two interesting museums – one dedicated to the painter Nicolas Poussin, the other to the Normandie-Niémen regiment.
