View Cruise DealLes Andelys, a quaint town in Normandy, France, beautifully straddles the past and the present. Nestled along the meandering Seine River, it offers visitors a blend of historical intrigue and stunning natural landscapes.
The ruins of Château Gaillard, perched high above the Seine, are the town's most iconic landmark. Built by Richard the Lionheart in the 12th century, this fortress was once a formidable stronghold that dominated the landscape. Today, the ruins provide an evocative glimpse into the past, with sweeping views of the river and the surrounding countryside. A visit to Château Gaillard is a journey back in time, as you walk among the ancient stones and imagine the battles and sieges that took place here. The site often hosts medieval festivals and reenactments, bringing history to life in a dramatic setting.
The banks of the Seine River near Les Andelys offer some of the most picturesque landscapes in Normandy. Take a leisurely walk along the river, where you can enjoy the tranquil beauty of the water, the lush greenery and the charming architecture of the town. For a different perspective, consider a river cruise. These cruises provide a relaxing way to see the sights, including the stunning white cliffs and the verdant hills that line the river. It’s also an opportunity to spot local wildlife and enjoy the peaceful rhythm of life along the Seine.
Les Andelys is more than its majestic castle; it's a town with a rich artistic and historical heritage. Visit the Nicolas Poussin Museum, named after the famous 17th-century painter born in Les Andelys. The museum, located in a charming half-timbered house, features exhibits on local history and art, including works by Poussin and other artists. Stroll through the town's streets, lined with quaint shops and cafes and admire the medieval and Renaissance architecture. Don't miss the Collegiate Church of Notre Dame, a beautiful example of Gothic architecture with stunning stained glass windows.
