Blend medieval with impressionist heritage. Rouen’s Gothic cathedral and old market squares highlight a half day, then continue to Giverny’s Monet’s Garden vantage, no train required, purely by road from Normandy.
Expect 2 hours to Rouen, then 1 hour to Giverny. A private driver from Bayeux ensures you experience both the historic cathedral city and Monet's garden paradise at your own pace.
Situated on the Seine, it’s no wonder Rouen developed into one of France’s most important ports. A major Roman holding, when the Vikings settled here in the 10th century, Rouen became Normandy’s capital. For centuries after, the city was closely tied to the English - William the Conqueror often held court her, and Richard the Lionheart’s heart physically belongs to the city. After she was captured, Joan of Arc was tried in Rouen and burned alive in its central square. Today, the former Bishop’s Palace now houses a museum in her honor. Next door is the towering Gothic cathedral, made famous by Monet, with its incomprehensibly detailed facade. Throughout the ‘City of 100 Spires’ cobbled streets visitors will find traditional half-timbered houses, quaint cafes, and many impressive museums, such as the Musee des Beaux-Arts, where visitors will find works from Monet to contemporary local artists.
