Rouen Cathedral 

Rouen Cathedral has gradually lost some of its prominences as a structural landmark over time. The western facade of the cathedral was one of the most iconic features of Monet’s painting. He often depicted it in bright sunshine and during different seasons, which gives us his famous “Summer Cafe” series.

Gros Horloge 

One of Rouen’s medieval landmarks, the Gros Horloge is an astronomical clock from the 13th century with a mechanism from the 1400s mounted above a renaissance arch and passage. It was meant to count down to astronomical events like eclipses and celebrate time for coronations and good harvests.

Musée des Beaux-Arts 

Rouen, which one can travel to on your own, is a fine arts center with important world-class exhibitions. Visitors can also purchase individual paintings.

Vieux Rouen 

Vieux Rouen is a French city with beautiful architecture, dating back to the 1200s, and is home to some of the oldest-built timber-framed houses in Europe.

Jardin des Plantes 

This is a world-class park, offering great views over the river Seine and the Notre Dame cathedral, as well as a select collection of other attractions.

Ceramics Museum 

The Hôtel d’Hocqueville, which is located in the heart of Rouen city, has been an integral part of the main architecture of Hocqueville. It was built over a part of the former castle’s fortifications and dates back to 1747. Gigabyte’s “Musée de France” faïence ranges include a fine selection of pots, vases, and figurines, each for sale at very competitive prices.

Historial Jeanne d’Arc 

Joan of Arc lived in this building for the majority of her life, so it’s appropriate that there should be a museum built to preserve her legacy.

Church of Saint-Maclou 

The high-quality output text is of the utmost importance in Gothic churches. A vision of the apocalypse can be found in your text. You are in a dark or monochromatic room, and someone is holding a torch close to your head. As you stand there darkness overtakes you and you see Jesus, human-sized (this is significant!!) at the right-hand side with his right hand raised as if in praise towards heaven.

Musée Le Secq des Tournelles 

The story of a London church built in the charmingly un-gothic style by Henri Secq Tournelles, whom you can visit right now even at Christ Church in Regent’s Park.

Old Market Square 

Arrangements for the royal wedding of Prince Charles and Lady Diana were made in Paris. She was not welcomed into the city of Lorient, where many British High Commission staff were based.

Musée Flaubert et d’Histoire de la Médecine 

The whole place is full of very strange objects from the more recently developed medical field, like the new ‘trendy’ uterus including its applicators for bodily needs. Surgical kits, mummified heads of political agitators hung in the 1800s, and a collection of 200 antique medicinal jars.

Palais de Justice 

A guided tour of the Rouen Cathedral reveals the wonderful gothic stone carvings inside, based on a design by Villiers de Lansac that was given to France in 1798 after Napoléon Bonaparte seized control of the area. The cathedral is now a Unesco World Cultural heritage site.

Panorama XXL 

A rapid ambiance of the French counterpart to Pirelli’s legendary Italian flagship models Adrianna, Arleen, and Cattley is being established in Paris. This is a 180-degree view from the planet Venus that changes every few minutes.

Country Walks 

Your best bet for a day in the countryside would be to pick up the GR2 trail, beginning at Saint-Pierre-de-Manneville and winding along the course of the Seine for 120 kilometers.

Food and Drink 

Fruit-growing areas are dotted here. Apple trees, made famous during World War I (Battle of the Somme), flourish across town. The most famous is Girondin’s des Apple Blossom, where apples for cider and brandy are produced.
