Rouen Cathedral, Medieval Streets and the Old Market Square
The tour begins in front of Rouen Cathedral, which is world-famous thanks to a series of paintings by the French Impressionist painter Claude Monet. After admiring the gorgeous facade, tourists will step inside and discover the awe-inspiring stained-glass windows, as well as the tombs of the most famous Dukes of Normandy, Rollo the Viking and Richard the Lionheart. Travellers will roam around Old Rouen and walk down its medieval streets to admire the very well-preserved timber-framed houses. The tour also makes its way to the Big Clock, the town's most iconic symbol. On the way to the covered market at the Old Market Square, where Joan of Arc was burnt in 1431 and where the very modern church dedicated to her now stands, visitors will pass in front of the Renaissance splendour of the Palace of Justice. The tour guide shares anecdotes and gives visitors a chance to meet and chat a little with Rouen's locals.
