Chateau Gaillard castle

Castle Château Gaillard is located in Normandy in the small town of Les Andelys. Built by widely known English King Richard the Lionheart in the 1196-1198. Many times was captured and since 1862 is a protected historical monument. At the moment, it is in very good condition for its age.

Best view of the castle opens from the upper parking lot.


And from the castle grounds can be seen the Seine River and the town of Les Andelys.


On the territory from time to time undergo various festivals. We saw some kind of historical reconstruction.


Be informed. We planned to drive from the town up to the castle by car, but it turned out that all roads were closed. So we had to park in the town and walk up. If you want to get there by car then look for access through the street Allée du Roi de Rome.

Getting there: Nearest railway stations are Gaillon Aubevoye and Vernon. Further on buses 220, 290, 200 or 530, find timetable here.
