Falaise


An adventure to Falaise, which was southeast of where we were staying. Falaise was the birthplace of William the Conqueror and has a very impressive castle. The castle has two keeps, one of which was built for Eleanor of Aquitaine. The castle has been renovated with an audio visual display inside, which I liked, but R wasnt so keen on. He likes his ruins as ruins. The castle is really impressive, sits on a big rock near the river. Really huge walls, very naturally defended. The town was really lovely, lots of beautiful little streets. Another very warm day so back to the pool for more swimming!
