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.

The castle dominates a very beautiful village. The visit is very interesting and well documented. The main historical figures are represented by comedians by wall projection. A tablet is available to view the rooms with their furniture and decorations. (room, cellar, etc.) A visit not to be missed which will interest small and large.

nous avons visité les extérieurs du chateau, visite gratuite; il est possible de voir une vidéo projection concernant l'évolution de la construction du chateau; ensuite, tout le long de la forteresse sont installées des points de vue nous indiquant quelle construction était batie au moyen age; à faire et à refaire pour cette visite empreinte d'histoire

Magnifique forteresse qui propose une visite sous forme très actuelle avec une tablette tactile permettant à tous (petits et grands) de se projeter dans la vie du Xlème siècle enrichie de projections d'images et d'ambiances sonores .
Avoir de très intéressantes maquettes d'engins de guerre du moyen-age.
Une visite incontournable en Normandie
