Chateau Gaillard: Richard the Lionheart's Eroding Cliffside Ruin
★4.4(250)
Don't expect a polished palace; this is raw, medieval demolition at its finest. Perched high above the Seine, these crumbling limestone walls offer the best vantage point in Les Andelys. Spend about an hour climbing the steep path and exploring the inner baileys. The wind hits hard at the summit, so bring a jacket even in summer. Visit early on a weekday to avoid school trip crowds. The view of the river loop makes the hike worth it.
Address: Les Andelys, Normandy, 27700
