Normandy’s most visited castle, with animations, retracing 1,000 years of history, with ramparts featuring 15 towers and 3 keeps.

Falaise Castle, which dominates the surrounding area, is the most visited castle in Normandy! Erected on a rocky spur in the Xᵉ century and fortified by William the Conqueror, who was born here, and then by Henry I Beauclerc, his last son, it is an imposing sight with its keeps and rampart flanked by fifteen towers. A strategic site, the castle bears witness to Anglo-Norman power from William the Conqueror, who made his first feat of arms here, to Richard the Lionheart and John Lackland. During the Hundred Years' War, it was even a strategic center for the English. Its augmented reality tour adds to the pleasure of discovering it. Today, visitors can wander around the site using touch-screen tablets, with each room recreated in 3D. Last but not least, the team is always ready and willing to help. Guided tour available.

incontournable
Lieu incontournable de la visite de Falaise, vous ne pouvez le manquer, il trône sur les hauteurs de la ville et de son quartier historique, une place où vous pouvez vous garer gratuitement et ensuite visiter aussi le quartier. Ce château est connu (Guillaume le conquérant) et sera ravir petits et grands lors de sa visite. Dès l'extérieur vous serez surpris par les remparts et sa zone intérieur engazonnée, rendant au site un bel effet. Le château restauré est un peu physique à la visite, mais rien d'insurmontable!, avec ses couloirs et nombreux escaliers étroits, c'est magique. On vous remet un plan visite libre qui vous permettra de cheminer sur différents niveaux et parcourir nombre de pièces, bien mis en valeur par une scénographie efficace et moderne. Le fléchage est aisé à suivre avec le plan papier. Les hologrammes projetés sur les murs , excellents et explicatifs, ce château est totalement rénové et semble comme neuf à l'intérieur, la vue sur la ville et environ du sommet de la tour est superbe, ne pas hésiter à y monter. Entrée un peu cher quand même (9,50euros par adulte et 5 euros même pour des petits enfants) mais contribution à l'entretien sans doute!

Castelo que terá pertencido ao rei Guilherme, o Conquistador, situado numa simpática zona da Normandia. A visita ao castelo é interativa, utilizando tablets para se visualizar como seria, hipoteticamente, as várias dependências das torres de menagem. A paisagem envolvente é, também, digna de apreciação.
