After a short journey via shuttle bus, you’ll arrive in Rouen city center.
Follow your knowledgeable guide as they lead you on a guided walk down rue Saint Romain, one of the town's most fascinating streets with the beautiful St-Maclou church of Gothic-Flamboyant style. Continue along the bustling and popular Rue du Gros Horloge which features a unique medieval defensive clock tower and the nearby law court situated in an outstanding renaissance building.
Pause to visit inside the Notre-Dame cathedral of Rouen. Built between the 13th and the 16th centuries, it is considered one of the finest achievements of the French gothic art. The attraction of Rouen cathedral lies in its infinite variety including an immense façade bristling with openwork pinnacles and framed by two totally different towers; the tour St-Romain on the left and the tour de Beurre on the right.
