A city where history and art come alive! Experience the medieval atmosphere in Rouen.

Rouen, the ancient capital of Normandy, is a historic city adorned with cobblestone streets and stunning Gothic architecture 🏰. Known as the place where Joan of Arc was executed, the city exudes a storybook-like charm ✨. The grandeur of the cathedral, the elegance of the clock tower, and the richness of the museums made me stop and admire countless times. Access is convenient, with a train ride from Paris taking about an hour and a half 🚆. From Rouen Station, the old town is within walking distance, making it a compact and enjoyable city to explore. A key tip is to aim for the cathedral's nighttime illumination 🌃. During the summer, projection mapping events create a magical and moving experience. Additionally, many spots like the Joan of Arc Church and museums offer free admission, making it a budget-friendly destination. My impression of Rouen is that it’s a city that leaves you with a quiet and profound sense of awe. Rather than dazzling tourist attractions, it’s the weight of history and the richness of art that truly resonate. For your next trip, be sure to enjoy a "timeless stroll" in Rouen 🌿.
