Discover Rouen's magnificent medieval heritage on this walking tour through Normandy's historic capital. Begin at the majestic Saint-Ouen Abbey with its extraordinary 14th-century stained glass, then stroll along the picturesque Rue Eau de Robec, once the heart of the city's textile industry. Marvel at the Flamboyant Gothic masterpiece of Saint-Maclou Church before walking down charming Rue Saint-Romain to Rouen Cathedral, featuring France's tallest spire and immortalized by Monet in his famous paintings. Continue along the pedestrianized Rue du Gros-Horloge with its iconic astronomical clock to Place du Vieux-Marché, where Joan of Arc was martyred in 1431, and finish at the striking modern church built in her honor. Important: This itinerary is best on Saturday or Sunday, as Saint-Maclou Church and Saint Joan of Arc Church are only open on weekends. All churches close from 12:00-14:00 for a midday break. Total walking distance is approximately 2.7 km. All attractions are free to visit.
