Rouen, capital of Normandy
At a distance of less than an hour from Evreux (by car or bus), Rouen is a magnificent city with a rich history. Founded by the Romans in the 1st century AD, Rouen, nicknamed « the city of a hundred bells », is made up of several neighbourhoods or areas, each grouped around its own chapel, church or the cathedral.
Each of these neighbourhoods has its own particular charm and history, the details of which you will discover on wandering around the city: old half-timbered houses, gothic sculptures on the facades of churches, Renaissance treasures…… A real journey back in time, both artistically and architecturally!
