Gisors

Gisors is a commune in Normandy located where three rivers meet: the Epte, Troesne, and Réveillon in northern France. A medieval fortress dominates the landscape and gives the area its distinctive character.

The medieval fortress was built in the 11th century and marked the boundary between Normandy and the French royal territory as a strategic defense point. This border position shaped the town's development over centuries.

The Saint-Gervais-Saint-Protais church shows how religious building styles changed over centuries, with elements from different periods standing side by side. Visitors can follow this evolution while walking through the building.

The railway station provides regular connections to Paris, making day trips straightforward. Market days run every Friday and Sunday, where you can find local products and goods.

The Château de Boisgeloup on the commune's territory was home to artist Pablo Picasso, where he spent an important period of creative work. The location remains a testament to this artistic connection.
