In Gallo-Roman times, two villages lay here: an important religious center and a small fishing village. Over the centuries, Le Grand and Le Petit Andelys grew towards each other, and they now form one town. Les Andelys has a strategic location, above a bend in the Seine. It is logical, therefore, that the French crown wanted to gain control of this place, as the way to the sea was then open. Between 1196 and 1198, Richard the Lionheart, King of England and Duke of Normandy, had the Château Gaillard built. He did this on a chalk cliff to protect the duchy and the capital Rouen. It was a true masterpiece of military architecture, far ahead of its time. Nevertheless, the structure proved unable to withstand the attacks of Philip Augustus in 1204. During the Hundred Years' War, the fort was recaptured by the English. But as artillery developed further, the fort was abandoned.
