Château de Gaillon
Allée du château, 27600 Gaillon
The first Renaissance castle in France, Gaillon was accompanied in the 16th century by a series of remarkable gardens. Food gardens, pleasure gardens, hunting park, now extend over thirty hectares. Entirely to be restored, their gradual opening to the public allows to discover the main structures and views inherited from a sumptuous era. The archbishops of Rouen, owners of Gaillon until the Revolution, received Louis XII, François I, Louis XVI and Benjamin Franklin.
