Fodor's Expert Review Musée Nicolas Poussin

Les Andelys
Though the Museum takes his name, France's greatest 17th-century painter, born in the nearby hamlet of Villers, is represented by only a single masterpiece. But there's plenty more of interest here, with each room depicting some aspect of Les Andelys' history: Gallo-Roman archeological finds, plein air paintings from the Rouen School, the objects illustrating the religious heritage of Normandy, and a collection of artworks from the collection of the Duke of Penthièvre, son of Louis XIV and his mistress Madame de Montespan, who was also the Lord of Andely.
