DISCOVER THE CITY OF ROUEN

about 35 min drive

The city of 100 steeples and the scene of Joan of Arc's martyrdom, Rouen is like a living museum with its beautiful half-timbered houses, cobbled streets and Gothic churches.

Rouen

Don't miss the fabulous Notre-Dame Cathedral, which was used as a model by Claude Monet thirty times and whose choir houses the tombs of the Dukes of Normandy!

Go and admire the Gros Horloge, an architectural ensemble that houses the city's bells and one of the oldest clock mechanisms in Europe.

 

Finally, take a trip to the Historial Jeanne d'Arc, the largest place dedicated to the memory of the famous virgin of Orléans.
