Falaise is found inland in the Calvados department of Lower Normandy.

It is to William the Conqueror that Falaise owes its original fame - he was born in the castle in the town in 1027, a fact commemmorated by the large statue of him in front of the castle.

The castle can be visited, and has been extensively restored in recent years. The views across the surrounding landscape are as much a highlight as the castle itself. Within the chapel you can also see replicas of three casts of the important historical personalities: Henry II, Richard I and Eleanor of Aquitaine.

The town itself bears little resemblance to how it did 70 years ago - it was the centre of the defining conflict in the Battle of Normandy in August 1944 and suffered enormous damage.

Indeed the most common reason for visitors to pass through Falaise is as they tour the sights of the WWII battlefields of Normandy.

(Historical note: the so called 'Falaise-pocket' was the region where the allied forces attempted to stop the German Seventh Army and the Fifth Panzer Army during WWII).
