Normandy’s most visited castle, with animations, retracing 1,000 years of history, with ramparts featuring 15 towers and 3 keeps.

Erected on a rocky spur in the Xᵉ century and fortified by William the Conqueror and then by Henry I Beauclerc, his last son, Falaise Castle is an imposing sight, with its keeps and rampart flanked by fifteen towers. A strategic site from William the Conqueror's first feat of arms to Richard the Lionheart and John Lackland, it was occupied by the English during the Hundred Years' War. Guided tour available.

Un peu déçue par la visite car j'ai eu du mal à m'orienter.
Si je regrette l'absence de guide à cette époque de l'année, la tablette est malgré tout un bon instrument pour nous apprendre beaucoup de choses.

The castle dominates a very beautiful village. The visit is very interesting and well documented. The main historical figures are represented by comedians by wall projection. A tablet is available to view the rooms with their furniture and decorations. (room, cellar, etc.) A visit not to be missed which will interest small and large.

nous avons visité les extérieurs du chateau, visite gratuite; il est possible de voir une vidéo projection concernant l'évolution de la construction du chateau; ensuite, tout le long de la forteresse sont installées des points de vue nous indiquant quelle construction était batie au moyen age; à faire et à refaire pour cette visite empreinte d'histoire

Magnifique forteresse qui propose une visite sous forme très actuelle avec une tablette tactile permettant à tous (petits et grands) de se projeter dans la vie du Xlème siècle enrichie de projections d'images et d'ambiances sonores .
Avoir de très intéressantes maquettes d'engins de guerre du moyen-age.
Une visite incontournable en Normandie

Nous avons adoré notre visite au château, nous avions choisi la visite guidée. Note guide avait beaucoup de connaissance et cela paraissait qu'il est passionné par ce domaine. C'était une visite au delà de nos attentes.
