Perched above the Seine, the Belvédère des peintres viewpoint frames wide river bends, cliffs, and the dramatic “boucle” landscape that inspired painters. Best light is early morning or late afternoon for warm reflections on the water; mid-day works for crisp, high-contrast overlooks. Weekdays are quieter; access is easy on foot from Les Andelys. Free to visit; bring a jacket—wind off the river is common.
