Re-constructed around 1502 by Cardinal Georges d'Amboise on an Italian Renaissance model.
Gaillon is about half-way from Le Havre to Paris... i.e. here:

Unfortunately it is not currently open to the public due to the ongoing restoration, and visitors are only able to see the exterior. This is a shame as the roundels that I think Foyle refers to are clearly an interior courtyard feature, as this photo shows.
