Guided by an erudite and animated personal escort, you’ll get the chance to explore and understand the charming medieval and renaissance architectural styles that distinguish this historic Normandy town.
In the pages of Rouen, Normandy, and the dynamic Franco-British relationship, famous figures such as Joan of Arc, a poignant heroine of the Hundred Years War who met her end in Rouen, William the Conqueror, Viking Rollo, and Richard the Lion Heart (a noted character in the Robin Hood tales), have left their indelible mark.
