Rouen, through the centuries: a journey to the heart of Normandy’s history
Go back in time and discover the fascinating history of Rouen and the Dukes of Normandy on a unique tour that blends heritage, legends and historical chronology.
Learn how Normandy was born out of the Treaty of Saint-Clair-sur-Epte, when Vikings and Franks sealed the birth of a new duchy. Relive the city’s highlights through three key periods:
Roman Rouen, its origins and its first fortifications,
Medieval Rouen, capital of the Duchy and witness of Joan of Arc,
Modern Rouen, marked by urban transformations and major events.
This tour takes you through the history of Rouen from the 3rd century BC. C. to the present day, following the evolution of the city, its stones and its soul.
With me, every street, every monument becomes a living witness to a past that shaped Normandy and France.
