Giverny has Monet’s house and beautiful garden. Busy during summer weekends the queues are worth the wait. Richard the Lionheart’s ruined Château Gaillard perches above Les Andelys with superb views across the Seine. Evreux’s cathedral is a gothic masterpiece with brilliant stained glass. Charming Pont Audemer is on the edge of the huge Brotonne Forest.
