Rouen, Channel to Paris

Profile

ROUEN CAPITAL OF NORMANDY
As a port for both ocean and river sailing, Rouen is known throughout the world for its rich heritage. The glistening waters of the Seine, lined with white chalky cliffs, majestic abbeys and lush orchards, have linked the city of the Viking Rollo, William the Conqueror, Richard the Lionheart, Joan of Arc, Claude Monet, Corneille, Flaubert and Marcel Duchamp with the rest of the world.

Rouen - the capital city of Normandy with more than 2 000 years of history behind it - with its majestic Gothic cathedral dominating the skyline – the extraordinary life and death of Joan of Arc – was and still is closely connected to its river and where our genuine hospitality and unique experiences welcome millions of visitors every year.
