Top 10 attractions in Rouen
Cathedral of Our Lady of Rouen
The magnificent Notre-Dame Cathedral is a classic example of Gothic architecture, made famous by Monet's paintings. Early Christian churches existed on its current site as early as the 4th century AD, and Notre-Dame Cathedral's current appearance took shape between the 12th and 16th centuries. Its west-facing entrance, the subject of 30 paintings by Monet, which explored the play of light and shadow, is a hallmark of the cathedral. Its ornate wall decorations and towers of varying styles on both sides are hallmarks of the architecture.Rouen · 496m from downtown

[Rouen] The old town is a good place. It hasn’t rained yet, the weather is not too cold, there are still people on the street, and it’s not Sunday yet, and the food is delicious. European travel reminder: all Sundays, no matter where you are It is a dead city. When arranging your itinerary, it is recommended to rest in the hotel all day on Sundays.

The Old Market Square is a small local market in Rouen. It is very comprehensive. You can see a wide variety of goods when you visit here. You need to exchange local currency in the market, and mobile payment is not very convenient.
[Scenery] There are many old buildings

The museum's most treasured piece is none other than Monet's oil painting "Rouen Cathedral". The master's ingenious grasp of light and color is worth savoring!
