No. 6
Château de Gaillon (également sur commune de Aubevoye)

No. 7
Château des Tourelles (Tourelles Castle)
Vernon
Château des Tourelles, in Vernon (Eure), France. Location, access and practical information.

No. 8
Château de Navarre (Navarre Castle)

No. 9
Château de Conches-en-Ouche (Conches-en-Ouche Castle)
Conches-en-Ouche
Perched on a mound above the Rouloir valley, the ruined keep of Conches-en-Ouche belonged to a stronghold begun in the 11th century by the lords of Tosny. Visitors can see a cylindrical keep wrapped in near-joined semicircular towers, a layout that later inspired Château-Gaillard.

No. 10
Château de Montfort-sur-Risle (Montfort-sur-Risle Castle)
Montfort-sur-Risle
Perched on a rocky spur above the Risle valley, the remains of this 11th-century stronghold recall one of Normandy's great feudal families, the Montforts, one of whom joined William the Conqueror at Hastings.
