Your experience
Stop 1
When you came to Rouen, you might not have imagined that you would have so many churches in one visit. Now, believe us, each of them has something to teach us about the city.
Stop 2
Dear culture lovers, in Rouen you will be treated with care. And if you’re told that, it’s because a wide choice of museums awaits you and a handful of them even have the merit of welcoming you for free. This is the case of the Museum of Fine Arts, which you have just stopped in front of.
Stop 3
A glittering Big Clock, a stone lace cathedral, some 2,000 half-timbered houses in various colours and styles, Rouen is such a heterogeneous and demonstrative heritage complex that we are constantly amazed.
Stop 4
If we are used to saying that “all roads lead to Rome”, well, in the same style, know that all oceans lead to Rouen.
Stop 5
Next to the abbey of Saint-Ouen, which stretches high, you will find a building that prefers to spread along the length. What are we dealing with? Well at the current Rouen City Inn.
Stop 6
Regularly mistaken for a cathedral, with its extraordinary measures of more than 130 meters long and 33 meters high, the abbey of Saint-Ouen was founded around the year 750, in place of a large Romanesque church destroyed by fire.
Stop 7
If in Rouen, there is the famous Gros Clock that almost everyone knows, know that a more mini and more “pass-through” version can be approached.
Stop 8
Very pleasant to explore on foot, Rouen counts no less than 1200 streets where you can very quickly lose your way. But if the majority of them present themselves as the Rue Eau de Robec, in which we brought you, not being able to be located any more seems to be a distant problem.
Stop 9
Walking the Saint-Maclou district, this is the kind of must-see that is essential in our itinerary of visit to the Norman capital. Any good self-respecting Rouennais will even encourage you to do so.
Stop 10
Strange, secretive, unusual, intimidating, with so many mysterious and supreme words to define it, it is not surprising that the elder Saint-Maclou is the second most visited monument in Rouen, behind Notre-Dame Cathedral.
Stop 11
So, of all the half-timbered houses that Rouen lists, we’re ready to bet that you haven’t seen any like it. I'd like you to meet the famous house that leans.
Stop 12
In a decor essentially shaped by half-timbered houses, the Saint-Maclou church makes reign more beautiful its singularity, or better, its inimitable grace
