A land of conquerors and warriors, Normandy shaped the medieval history of Europe. From Romanesque keeps to the fortified castles of the Hundred Years' War, this route crosses the great sites of Norman feudalism, from the Seine to the Calvados.
Château Gaillard is spectacular at sunset from the cliffs of Les Andelys. Caen has two abbeys founded by William the Conqueror, well worth adding to your visit.
