About Les Andelys

Ancient times are evoked by the hilltop Richard the Lionheart's Chteau Gaillard. Set deep in one of the loops of the Seine River and surrounded by high chalk hillsides, this quaint French town also houses the Nicholas Poussin museum and the Churches of Notre-Dame and Saint Sauveur. Take a riverboat ride along the Seine to the nearby Colegiate of Ecouis and enjoy the scenic waterway.

About Conflans

Conflans-Sainte-Honorine is a commune in the northwestern suburbs of Paris, France. The commune takes its name from the rambling chateau of Conflans, where the archbishop of Paris commissioned Andre Le Notre to lay out extensive gardens descending in deep terraces towards the Seine. Nothing remains of the chateau or the gardens save a monumental stair, descending in matched flights either side of a central niche, which remains isolated at the end of a cul-de-sac, backed by a large block of modern flats.
