Gisors, a day trip from Paris
 
I passed through Gisors several times without stopping.
I corrected this error. Gisors is a pleasant old town, with an impressive
ancient Castle when the king of France and the king of England were at
war at the end of the 11th century.

My lunch, in some kind of Bistrot, was very simple, but cheap, good
quality and tasty. It was a good day trip.

From Paris, you reach Gisors in slightly more than one hour by train
(Saint Lazare station). Schedule:

Are there other destinations on that train line worth visiting?

Or is Gisors alone worth the day trip?

By train, there is nothing easily accessible from Gisors.
By car, there are a lot of interesting places around: Chateau-Gaillard,
Giverny, Le Bec Hellouin abbey, Rouen, Dieppe, Etretat.

Ah - Etretat. My very first overseas foray in 1955!
