Laura and I took a walk through the small town of Les Andelys including the Saint Sauveur Church and a view of the chateau from the street.
The town is located along the Seine and protected by cliffs on either side.
Chateau Gaillard ruins are located at the top of a cliff just above the town of Les Andelys.
Chateau Gaillard (pronounced guy-yard), is a fortress built by Richard the Lionheart in 1196. It was an important structure that defended access to Normandy during the Wars of Religion and Richard's campaigns against France.
