Les Andelys

Set on a curvacious bend in the Seine, 25 miles from Rouen, historically rich Les Andelys is crowned by the spectacular ruins of King Richard the Lion Heart's 12th-century fortress. Originally two fishing villages that eventually grew together—Petit Andely and Grand Andely (hence Les Andelys)—this scenic town retains a historic charm in a stunning natural setting.
