Rouen is the ideal city for lovers of history and art and the city’s best spots are easily reached from this charming Seine Maritime lodging. The stunning Gothic architecture of the Cathedral (Cathedrale Notre-Dame de Rouen) make it certainly the most striking landmark of the city. Standing at 151 meters (or 495 feet), this magnificent building has even been the tallest building in the world until as recently as 1880. The Musee des Beaux Arts features a wide array of French works of art, such as paintings, sculptures and drawings. You might also want to visit the public square where the French heroine Joan of Arc was executed by burning, and the simple, but beautiful, church that was erected in her memory (Eglise de Saint Jeanne d’Arc). The clock of the Gros Horloge also attracts thousands of tourists from all over the world and features a museum with many testimonies of Rouen’s rich history. Time for shopping, time for dinner! If you are interested in shopping, then Rouen is a place that will not disappoint you. With its many shops along the central Vieux Marche and the Rue de l’Horloge you will spend some pleasant hours and find souvenirs and fine French made clothing. When your stomach starts rumbling, you have plenty to choose from. Try a traditional duck dish such as a canard a la rouennaise, some tasty sausages made from chitterlings (andouilles) or indulge with a traditional apple pie in one of the dozens of restaurants that are scattered around the center. The most famous include Le Rouennais and La Marmite that also boast a wide choice of delicious French and international wines. But if you want to try a true delicacy that originates from Normandy, you should not miss out on some cider!
