This château, built by the Archbishop of Rouen, is one of the earliest jewels of the French Renaissance.
Château de Gaillon is one of the earliest treasures of the French Renaissance, built by the archbishop of Rouen, Cardinal Georges d'Amboise, in parallel with those built in the Loire Valley. Dismantled during the French Revolution, transformed into a penitentiary until 1946, it was finally bought by the State in 1975. Since then, a long restoration campaign has been underway. Guided tours, dramatized tours and exhibitions bring the site to life during the season, enabling visitors to discover all the treasures this building has to offer.

Het wordt geheel gerestaureerd. Alleen de voorgevel is nu af. Gaat nog jaren duren, maar wordt dan schitterend. Voor nu staat het in de steigers. Vandaar helaas 3 sterren.
