Les Andelys, France Cruises

Les Andelys, France Cruise Port

• The present structure of Notre Dame Collegiate Church is small but exquisite. It was erected between the 13th and 17th centuries in an impressive gothic style with exceptional series of stained glass windows dating back to the 16th century. The windows were used to educate the people of biblical text and historical figures, while the mercies which adorned the stalls represented animals and scenes of daily life. Walk through and admire the works of Quentin Varin, the traveling painter.
   
• Built by England’s King Richard the Lionheart in 1196 over a period of two years in order to protect the river Seine and the city of Rouen from the ambitions of the King of France, Philip Augustus, Château Gaillard was the perfect model of the military architecture of its time. Over the years it has seen many occupants; from the royal residence of King Louis IX to King David II. Today, this marvelous structure stands as the object of great pleasure for the inhabitants of the cruise port of Les Andelys, France.
