Rouen is famous for its stunning Gothic cathedral that inspired Claude Monet's painting series and its connection to Joan of Arc, who was tried and executed here in 1431. The city features over 2,000 half-timbered medieval buildings, making it one of France's best-preserved historic centers. Rouen served as Normandy's capital and was an important medieval port on the Seine River.
Popular day trips from Rouen include Giverny, where Claude Monet's house and gardens inspired his famous water lily paintings. Etretat and Fecamp offer dramatic white chalk cliffs along the Normandy coast. Honfleur and Deauville provide charming harbor towns with seafood restaurants. The historic port city of Le Havre showcases post-war architecture. Bayeux and Caen give access to D-Day landing beaches and medieval history.
France uses the euro as its official currency. Credit cards are widely accepted, though smaller cafes, bakeries, and market vendors may prefer cash. It's advisable to carry some euros for small purchases and traditional establishments.
French is the official language of France. In Rouen and throughout Normandy, the local accent has distinct characteristics compared to Parisian French. While English is increasingly spoken in hotels and tourist attractions, many restaurants and shops operate primarily in French. Learning basic French phrases like greetings and polite expressions will enhance your experience and is appreciated by locals.
The best time to visit Rouen is from May to September when weather is warm and the cathedral's spectacular light show runs nightly. Spring and early summer offer pleasant temperatures for walking through the medieval streets. Autumn provides beautiful colors and fewer tourists.
The Gros Horloge is a magnificent 14th-century astronomical clock mounted on a Renaissance arch spanning Rue du Gros Horloge. The clock face features only one hour hand, as minute precision wasn't necessary when it was built. Visitors can climb the tower for panoramic views of Rouen's medieval center and explore the clock mechanism museum to understand this historic timepiece's engineering.
Joan of Arc was captured, tried for heresy, and burned at the stake in Rouen's Place du Vieux Marche on May 30, 1431. The Historial Jeanne d'Arc museum occupies the Archbishop's Palace where her trial occurred. A modern church dedicated to her stands on the execution site. The Tour Jeanne d'Arc tower remains from the castle where she was imprisoned and threatened with torture.
Rouen is approximately 85 miles northwest of Paris, making it an easy day trip destination. The journey passes through scenic Norman countryside along the Seine Valley.
