The most interesting and beautiful tourist sites in Rouen
Photos, reviews, descriptions, and links to maps
Normandy is a land of peaceful countryside, green meadows, beautiful Gothic castles and ancient legends. It is the land of the famous William the Conqueror, who practically started the history of neighbouring England as a state. In Norman Rouen, the legendary Maid of Orleans, Joan of Arc, was condemned and executed. Nowadays, an elegant temple rises near the site of her burning.
The streets of Rouen are a real museum of Gothic architecture. Several hundred houses are built here in the magnificent “flaming Gothic” style. Exquisite facades and spires of the Palace of Justice, decorated with fine stone lace, and incredible stained-glass windows of the Rouen Cathedral cause delight even in people indifferent to architectural beauty.
