Tips from the Community
The Collégiale Notre-Dame is an architectural beauty from the 13th century, even if it may look very much in need of renovation from the outside. Curiosity won, and we were not disappointed 😃 Upon entering the church, we were immediately captivated by the splendor of the stained glass windows, which bathe the building in a beautiful light. The depictions tell the life stories of saints, martyrs, and apostles. The windows in the southern aisle are dated to 1540 and those in the upper part of the nave to 1560. The church was built in 1225 on the ruins of a women's monastery, which had been founded in 511 by Saint Clotilde, the wife of Clovis I. It was expanded in the 15th and 16th centuries and restored in the 19th century, combining the style of classical and late Gothic with the Renaissance style of Henry III and Neo-Gothic.

Château Gaillard is a medieval military masterpiece. Richard the Lionheart had it built on a chalk cliff, high above a large bend in the Seine. The castle is now a ruin, but two villages at the foot of the castle now form Les Andelys together, one of the most beautiful places in France.

"God loves every soul with an undying love. He approaches each one with repeated, unspeakably patient offers of redemption. Even a small sign of love is enough for him to forgive and redeem. Our dear departed ones lacked a life preserver for the body; but the spiritual life preserver was not lacking, the breath of God in which the soul can clothe itself in a tiny moment, much more quickly than the body could." (Text by Albino Luciani / Pope John Paul I)

A military fortress with a defensive purpose, built in 1097, during the reign of William the Conqueror's second son, Gisors Castle marks a major page in the medieval history of Normandy. This fortification was intended to protect the Norman possessions of the King of England against the ambitions of the King of France. A true border place and eastern lock of Normandy, it was part of a vast campaign of fortifications in the Epte Valley, the natural boundary between the two kingdoms.
