A quality guided tour! - We recommend!!
Elodie is smiling and passionate. A beautiful visit that makes us rediscover Rouen. Very interesting comments with lots of anecdotes and historical details. The places visited in 1h30 were perfect.
Thank you to Elodie for the small food and tea room nestled behind the Cathedral.

culture and discovery of Rouen - Very interesting comments with lots of anecdotes and historical details. The choice of places visited in 1h30 to 2h00 were wise. Elodie was captivating and unfortunately the visit was much too short!!!
Recommend without hesitation
