Rouen
About the City
Known all over the world for its medieval heritage, Rouen will surprise you with the diversity and wealth of its museums, exhibition spaces, and monuments. As well as the Impressionists, Joan of Arc, Pierre Corneille, and Gustave Flaubert, the capital of Normandy holds hidden treasures to be discovered by children and adults alike.
It is impossible to spend a weekend, a mini-break, or a holiday in Rouen without going to the Gros-Horloge clock, the Cathedral of Notre-Dame, the Church of Saint-Ouen, the Museum of Fine Arts, the view from Sainte-Catherine’s Hill in Bonsecours, the British military cemetery in Petit-Quevilly, the timber-framed streets of the center of town, the Château du Tallis, the Panorama XXL on the quays of the Seine or the Joan of Arc History Museum.
But let yourself also be tempted by unusual cultural sites such as the rope-making museum (Corderie Vallois), the National Education Museum (Musée National de l’Éducation), the Secq des Tournelles Ironwork Museum, the manors and châteaux of the Seine Valley, the Circus in Elbeuf or the Cimetière Monumental and the headstones of famous people.
