Part 4/8:
Walking through Rouen, I was particularly taken by the Gros Horloge, a clock that dates back to 1389 and is one of the oldest mechanisms in France. The history embedded in the architecture is palpable, making it a fascinating stop on anyone’s itinerary.
Château Gaillard: A Glimpse into the Past
Venturing further along the Seine River, we arrived at Château Gaillard, a hilltop castle dating back to the 12th century. This commune offers stunning views of the surrounding landscape and is a fantastic spot for history buffs to explore the remnants of medieval Europe.
