Musee des Beaux-Arts de Rouen (Pass by)
Dear culture lovers, in Rouen you will be treated with care. And if you’re told that, it’s because a wide choice of museums awaits you and a handful of them even have the merit of welcoming you for free. This is the case of the Museum of Fine Arts, which you have just stopped in front of.

A glittering Big Clock, a stone lace cathedral, some 2,000 half-timbered houses in various colours and styles, Rouen is such a heterogeneous and demonstrative heritage complex that we are constantly amazed.

Abbatiale Saint-Ouen (Pass by)
Regularly mistaken for a cathedral, with its extraordinary measures of more than 130 meters long and 33 meters high, the abbey of Saint-Ouen was founded around the year 750, in place of a large Romanesque church destroyed by fire.

Rue Eau de Robec (Pass by)
Very pleasant to explore on foot, Rouen counts no less than 1200 streets where you can very quickly lose your way. But if the majority of them present themselves as the Rue Eau de Robec, in which we brought you, not being able to be located any more seems to be a distant problem.

Walking the Saint-Maclou district, this is the kind of must-see that is essential in our itinerary of visit to the Norman capital. Any good self-respecting Rouennais will even encourage you to do so.

Aitre Saint-Maclou (Pass by)
Strange, secretive, unusual, intimidating, with so many mysterious and supreme words to define it, it is not surprising that the elder Saint-Maclou is the second most visited monument in Rouen, behind Notre-Dame Cathedral.

To honor Joan of Arc’s epic, Rouen could have played the traditional museum card with classic works and some collectibles. But admit that with a character as exciting as the Thumb, it would have been a shame to settle for so little.

In Rue Saint-Romain, as everywhere else in the historic heart of Rouen, the only Trip Tip we have to give you is to keep looking up to admire what is around you.

“To be defeated without danger, we triumph without glory”, who among you at the ref? Our fans of classical French theatre, perhaps. The ones who kept some leftovers from their high school classes, no doubt. In any case, Le Cid is certainly the best known work of Pierre Corneille.
