Rouen – The City

With a history dating way back, “the city of a hundred spires” is an old settlement that saw its most prosperous days during the Middle Ages. This is not only where the famous author Gustave Flaubert lived, but also the city where Joan of Arc was convicted and burnt at the stake in 1431.

Rich in art and history, Rouen today has approximately 500,000 Rouennais living in the city and urban area. Because of all the students living here, the city remains lively both day and night. The countryside offers an even more relaxing atmosphere; Rouen and the surroundings are full of history and places to discover. With Paris only a 90 minute drive away, it’s easy to come here for a short trip even if you chose the French capital as your main base.

If you choose to explore the surrounding areas, there are many daily excursions to go on. You can visit Monet’s home in Giverny, which is one example of a popular attraction outside the city. Another interesting site is Jumièges Abbey, the ruins of a Benedict monastery, that can be found in Jumièges.

The medieval village is built on an island crowned by an abbey dedicated to Saint Michael the Archangel. The site is classified by UNESCO as a world heritage site; here not much has changed since the Middle Ages.

Benedictine monks started building the abbey in the 10th century. Resistance to British attacks during the Hundred Years’ War made this place a symbol of French national identity. The monks left the abbey in 1790, this was classified as a historical monument, precisely in 1847. The site has returned to its former glory thanks to restoration work. Here you will discover a cloister, gardens and a breathtaking view of the bay.
