Rouen's Unmissable Treasures

Rouen, Normandy's historic capital, features a dense concentration of Gothic architecture and medieval heritage. This collection includes the Flamboyant Gothic Church of Saint-Maclou and the massive Saint-Ouen Abbey. The city’s history is inextricably tied to Joan of Arc, represented by her prison tower and an immersive museum housed in the Archiepiscopal Palace. Cultural highlights include the Museum of Fine Arts and the unique Musée Le Secq des Tournelles, which displays wrought ironwork inside a deconsecrated church. Traditional half-timbered houses and the rare 16th-century plague cemetery, Aître Saint-Maclou, further showcase the city's architectural evolution.
