Tuesday 4th November
More sailing until we get to Les Andelys.
Yes another magic little town with a thumping big church.
But its note to fame is the castle on the hill.
The history books say Richard the Lionheart was captured and held hostage in Durnstein on the way home from the crusades.
Now I know the area, great place with picnic spots and little wine bars so I think he just took a holiday. When he finally felt guilty enough and got back to France he found his Bro had given much of his land away. So this is the castle he built in his quest to get his land back. Check out the views, not bad hey!
