Rouen Family Hotels

Quartier Vieux Marché-Cathédral transports visitors through centuries of Norman history with every step on its ancient cobblestones. The magnificent Gothic cathedral towers above half-timbered houses while the striking Gros-Horloge clock marks time as it has since medieval days. History buffs will be moved by Joan of Arc's execution site, now commemorated by a modern church. Art lovers can duck into the Musée des Beaux-Arts between explorations of winding pedestrian lanes. The neighborhood's traditional Norman brasseries serve apple-infused dishes in charming timber-framed settings. Most accommodation is hotels in converted medieval buildings with exposed beams and stone walls. The pedestrian-only streets make walking the ideal way to explore, though the cobblestones demand sturdy shoes.

Centre Ville Rive Gauche lets you step right into a medieval storybook with its stunning Gothic cathedral where Monet once set up his easel. Half-timbered houses lean in to create cosy passages while cobblestone streets lead to museums showcasing Norman heritage. The neighborhood's pedestrian-friendly zones make exploring the historical treasures and boutiques a total breeze. Traditional Norman bistros serve up cider-braised dishes perfect after a day of sightseeing. You'll find charming accommodation in converted medieval buildings throughout the area.
