Les Andelys, Medieval commune on Seine River, Normandy, France

Les Andelys consists of two distinct sections: Grand-Andely, situated inland, and Petit-Andely, positioned along the Seine River's right bank at 23 meters elevation.

Richard the Lionheart constructed Chateau Gaillard fortress in 1196 to protect Normandy's borders, employing advanced military architecture techniques before French forces captured it in 1204.

The Notre-Dame church in Grand-Andely displays Gothic and Renaissance architecture from the 13th to 15th centuries, featuring detailed stone carvings and religious artifacts.

The Saturday market in Les Andelys provides local products, while the annual September flea market brings together numerous vendors across the town streets.

Nicolas Poussin, born in Les Andelys in 1594, became one of France's primary classical painters, influencing European art with his structured compositional style.
