We sat under huge willow trees while gazing at the monstrous Chinon castle, King HenryII favourite castle and home to many of Richard\u2019s family.<\/p>\n

Fontevraud is a UNESCO heritage site. It was founded in 1101. Richard, who died in 1199 has his body here( his heart is preserved in the city of Rouen). The Huguenots pillaged the Abbey in 1562 and scattered his remains.<\/p>\n
