Viking Skaga left Rouen before we woke, and the morning was spent cruising until we moored at 11:50 at Les Andelys, the outside rafted to Riviera’s Jane Austen.

Les Andelys

 

At 14:00 we went with an enthusiastic female guide to walk through the small riverside town and visit the church built in 1196 before walking up to Chateau Gaillard, the castle that overlooks the town and river.

Chateau Gaillard

 

The Programme Director – a fit healthy young man – said the walk up to the castle is very steep and that he had struggled. We decided not to go and several people who tried gave up. I went for a walk inland to the neighbouring modern town but the wind got up and it started raining so I headed back to the boat for a warming coffee.
