Rouen

Rouen - the medieval book of Normandy

Description:

Rouen is probably one of the most interesting and mysterious cities in Normandy, where each street holds many secrets. This is a real “open book”, where the history, culture, art and traditions of this wonderful “city of 100 bells” are intertwined, which Victor Hugo especially cherished.
Walking through the windy streets of this city with beautifully preserved old half-timbered houses, you will discover truly architectural treasures: outlandish buildings of the Gothic style (Rouen Cathedral of Notre Dame, the Abbey Temple of St. Uen, the parish church of St. Maclou, the Palace of Justice) of the era, and real pearls of the beautiful Renaissance (Palace of Finance, Hotel de Burgteruld, the Great Tower Clock). It seems that through thousands of years, these ancient streets are so imbued with centuries-old history that you can involuntarily feel yourself in the company of his historical characters: Rollon, Richard the Lionheart, Joan of Arc, Roots, Flaubert, Claude Monet ... During this impressive walk, we will look with you into the most secret places of this wonderful city and try to reveal all its secrets.
