Exploring Rouen, France: Normandy’s Medieval Jewel

Rouen France

 

Rouen, France

On our leisurely river cruise down the Seine, our final port of call was Rouen. We found the city modern  yet medieval, with a colorful Old Town center and gorgeous Gothic architecture. 

This is a town where the past remains intertwined with the present. Once the largest and richest city in medieval Europe, Rouen was the seat of the Dukes of Normandy, whose rulers governed not only the French province of Normandy but England as well!

With many religious buildings throughout town, quaint cobblestone streets and delicious cuisine, there's lots to explore in Rouen. 

Here's a quick travel guide to Rouen, France!
