Historic capital of Normandy, Rouen is a city of Art and History with an important architectural and religious heritage. Nicknamed the city with hundred bell towers, Rouen offers visitors the Notre-Dame cathedral of Gothic style, the Saint-Maclou church, a magnificent example of late Gothic style, and the Saint-Ouen abbey church of the 14th century. The Aître Saint-Maclou is a former mass grave, a place that is both quiet and mysterious, with its inner courtyard surrounded by trees and timber-framed buildings presenting macabre ornaments.

Very picturesque, the streets of the old districts, lined with old half-timbered houses, are the perfect place for a stroll. The Damiette, Martainville, and Saint Romanesque streets are particularly rich in timber-framed houses. The Vieux-Marché square is where Joan of Arc was burned in 1431. Today, the Sainte-Jeanne-d'Arc church is a very original modern building that sits in the centre of the square.

The Fine art museum is home to paintings collections going from the 16th to the 20th century. A Ceramic museum exhibiting collections is also offered in the visit.
