What a fun place France is--right there on the water they've got a tiny cute castle. We had lunch on a bench below and enjoyed the view. The castle itself was locked. There are fancy, self-cleaning toilets nearby that are practically worth a visit on their own.

The Château des Tourelles is a small and cute medieval castle in Vernon, originated in 1196, when Philippe Auguste, the king of of France, fighting against Richard the Lionheart, the king of England, for possession of Normandy. He finally seized Vernon and made the town a military base. This small castle next to the river, can not be visited inside. So, for an outdoor visit you can see it 24h/24h. Usually those who visit Monet's house and gardens in Giverny, also pay a visit the nearby Vernon, with its fortified castle Château des Tourelles and the timberland houses specific to the area of Normandy. Definitely worth an exterior visit. It takes you just a few minutes to get some memorable photos. There is a small car park nearby, where you can park your car. No fee apply. Address: 4 Rue Ogereau, 27200 Vernon. You reach the castle after an hour's drive on the highway from Paris, in the direction of Giverny.
