A military fortress with a defensive purpose, built in 1097, during the reign of William the Conqueror's second son, Gisors Castle marks a major page in the medieval history of Normandy. This fortification was intended to protect the Norman possessions of the King of England against the ambitions of the King of France. A true border place and eastern lock of Normandy, it was part of a vast campaign of fortifications in the Epte Valley, the natural boundary between the two kingdoms.

We know of Saints Gervais and Protais that they were Christian martyrs in the 2nd century in Milan. At the time, the Roman Empire forced all its subjects to worship the emperor, which was unacceptable to Christians. If they refused, they were crucified or sent to the arena to be devoured by lions between gladiatorial fights. Thus, Saint Ambrose, bishop of Milan, found them, in 386, buried side by side. This great bishop affirmed that they had been martyrs by fidelity to their baptism. He even added "They are of a prodigious size, such as one was in ancient times." Their cult reached Gaul where a large number of churches were dedicated to them.

At the bottom of the rue de Vienne, just at the beginning of the Rue des Argilières, there is an old wash house listed as an Historic Monuments since 1927. It is reached down the street or following the circuit of the fortifications of the sixteenth century. century of the castle. Its wooden pillars follow the curve of the Epte and its slate-covered timberwork today offers a pleasant stop over the water, just at the crossroads of the main shopping streets of the city center. Vestige of the daily life of yesteryear, it reminds us how much the river was important in the life of the city, participating in its economic development but also in its social life.
