Rouen Hotels

One of the most prominent destinations in Seine-Maritime and indeed, Normandy, is the handsome town of Rouen. While home to a metro populace of more than half a million people, Rouen feels more like a tidy town than a big city. A mere 130 km north of Paris, Rouen is the capital of Seine-Maritime and the entire region of Haute-Normandie. As a result, a number of fine landmarks lay in wait for visitors to discover. The most important points of interest in the city where Joan of Arc met her demise at the stake in 1431 include the Tour Jeanne d'Arc, Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Rouen, Musée des Beaux-Arts de Rouen, Musée Le Secq des Tournelles and the magnificent Palais de Justice. Major annual events include the Rouen Nordic Film Festival, Joan of Arc Festival, Rouen Armada and Normandy Impressionist Summer Festival.
