Rouen

Architectural Buildings · Landmarks · Art Museums
Rouen is situated on the River Seine, about 90 minutes from Paris. It is where Joan of Arc was burnt at the stake, but the main reason for visiting is its incredible cathedral that inspired Monet to paint over 30 canvases. Rouen was also the home of the author, Gustave Flaubert. Planning France trip won't be overwhelming when you use Inspirock's itinerary maker.

Where to stay in Rouen

Cathedrale Notre-Dame de Rouen ©
If your main reason for visiting Rouen is its famous cathedral, which inspired Monet to paint dozens of canvasses, consider booking your room at a hotel in or around the city center. Despite being within walking distance of the cathedral and the river, hotels in this area provide comfort and privacy at modest prices. If you're looking to splurge and location isn't your priority, think about staying at a luxurious hotel-spa situated farther outside the city, where you can have access to heated outdoor pools.
