Rouen Tour
|
This tour of Rouen takes you to the capital of Upper Normandy, a city as steeped in French history (especially of the Middle Ages and Renaissance), as it is busy being a bustling modern deep water port. Rouen is the ultimate survivor: of repeated Viking raids unleashed up-river on the Seine, of the One Hundred Years War with England, and, more recently, of the German Occupation.
 This Paris Luxury Tour focuses on Rouen's charming Old Town, with its whole streets of renaissance half-timbered buildings, dating from the 15th through the 18th centuries, which flank one of the most famous cathedrals in the world, and the equally renowned medieval Great Clock. We will show you the remains of the chapel where Joan of Arc was tried and the square where she was executed. We will also visit the cathedral and view the portal that so mesmerized Claude Monet that he felt compelled to paint it over eighty times.
 Walking through Rouen's quaint cobbled streets, you will see that this is also a place of great French names in literature, music and art. History oozes from the buildings, and you can almost picture Emma Bovary emerging from one of them.
We usually suggest combining this tour of Rouen with one of Giverny and/or Honfleur, to complete a full day of touring. See those tour descriptions by clicking on the links in the upper left side of this page.
