In the cradle of Norman history

The Vexin Normand asserts an identity forged by its medieval past: it is the historic frontier between the Duchy of Normandy and the Kingdom of France, central to the history of England and France.
The Epte River is the natural marker of this ancient frontier.
Let yourself be surprised by its medieval castles and farms and the vestiges of this region’s medieval past.

Visit Gisors, historic capital of the Vexin Normand region and explore this medieval city crossed by the Epte canals. The town is dominated by its imposing fortified castle, haloed by the legend of the Templar treasure. The castle overlooks a superb cathedral-like church and a lively town center.
