If you've walked along the banks of the Seine in Paris and wondered where it goes? And where it ends? Rouen is the answer to both questions.
The Seine, which crosses the city on its way to the ocean, turned Rouen into a diamond that everyone fought over for more than a thousand years – Gauls, Normans, Saxons, Brutons, and anyone who wanted to control the prestigious river.
The city's historic sites such as Rouen Cathedral, the Church of Saint-Maclou, the large 14th-century wall clock, and the magnificent stone houses on the banks of the river will give you a glimpse of the magnificent city that once was.
Beyond all this, Rouen is the capital of Normandy And is located right in the middle of the villages and towns in the region and is excellent for star trips to all the towns and villages in the area. Fast trains for anyone coming from Paris or any major city in France. The city allows you a huge selection of restaurants, cafes and of course shopping.
