Ruins near Rouen. A silent witness to history

About 25 miles south-west of Rouen, on the way to Paris, the ruins of Château Gaillard still stand over the River Seine. King Richard I commissioned the castle in 1196, when England occupied portions of modern-day France. The British and French fought for control of the castle for roughly 400 years – a span including the Hundred Years’ War – before Henry IV of France ordered it demolished. Today, the outer walls – called baileys – are open to the public all year, while the inner baileys are open during summer months.
