Les Andelys

Les Andelys is a commune in the northern French department of Eure, in Normandy. The population of Les Andelys was measured in 2020 at 8,055 individuals.

It lies on the Seine, about 35 km (22 mi) northeast of Évreux.

The commune is divided into two parts, Grand Andely (located about 0.8 kilometres (0.5 mi) from the Seine) and Petit Andely (situated on the right bank of the Seine).

Grand Andely

Grand Andely, founded, according to tradition, in the 6th. century, has a church (13th., 14th. and 15th. centuries), parts of which are of fine late Gothic and Renaissance architecture. The works of art in the interior include stained glass of the latter period. 

Other interesting buildings are the hôtel du Grand Cerf dating from the first half of the 16th. century, and the chapel of Sainte-Clotilde, close by a spring which, owing to its supposed healing powers, is an object of pilgrimage. 

Grand Andely features a statue of the artist Nicolas Poussin, a native of Grand Andely. 

Petit Andely

Petit Andely sprang up at the foot of the eminence on which stands the Château Gaillard, now in ruins, but formerly one of the strongest fortresses in France. 

It was built by Richard I of England at the end of the 12th. century to protect the Norman frontier. It was captured by the French in 1204, and passed finally into their possession in 1449. 

The church of St. Sauveur at Petit Andely also dates from the end of the 12th. century.
