A picturesque street lined with Gothic and Renaissance buildings.
Reviewed By mlbpafan - Loveland, United States
This is just a wonderful street to walk, shop, people watch and just enjoy! The shops are cool and unusual and don't miss the clock. It's just off the square with the Cathedral, so I recommend making the short walk and enjoying the stroll down the street. It is a bit touristy, but it is a must in Rouen.

The Musee des Beaux-Arts at Rouen is one of the best provincial museums in France, so if you are in Rouen on a rainy day like I was (or even if it isn't raining!), I highly recommend setting aside a couple of hours for a visit. The Cathedral Notre-Dame in Rouen was a recurring subject for Monet when he lived in nearby Giverny, and this excellent museum displays one of these canvases, along with works by Gericault, Boudin, Sisley, Renoir, Caillebot, Delecroix and many others. The paintings collection is especially strong, but there are also many fine sculptures and objets d'art. The whole museum has a very modern and professional air. And it's free! Unbelievable for a museum of this quality.

This stunning Gothic structure is considered by some to be the town's most important architectural landmark.
Reviewed By Keeley2305 - Toddington, United Kingdom
Well worth a visit if you are in the city of Rouen, free entry Beautiful historic cathedral with plenty of information in other languages aside from French. The tomb of Richard the lionheart is inside, and statue of Joan of arc Tour guides can be found around the cathedral who can be very informative

This bustling street from the cathedral down to the market is a lovely one to walk on because of all the things to see along the way. Of course the clock tower is the main attraction especially when the sun light catches it and it glistens. There are plenty of half timbered buidings painted in various colours to see. The street does get busy especially near the clock.

Former house used for the bodies of plague victims and current site of Rouen's Fine Art Academy.

Most unusual place in Rouen. An ossuary dating from the 14th century. Amazing carvings of sculls, bones and grave diggers tools on the ancient wooden and stone buildings. To get the best out of a visit here it is best to read up on the history of the buildings before a visit to really appreciate this place.

Reviewed By tommargitson - Norwich, United Kingdom
Would have happily paid to enter but realised it was free when we got here. Huge park, brilliant plants and flowers all around and plenty to see. Ice cream shop doing a roaring trade when we came as very hot day. Loos could do with a bit more maintenance but they're free so can't complain too much. Definitely do this when in Rouen and worth the 30 min walk from city centre too.
