Rouen offers a combination of history, art, gastronomy, nature, industry, and proximity to France’s most sought-after destinations, making it a standout location for overnight stays on Atlantic coast itineraries.
Passengers have ample time to explore the medieval streets of Rouen, known for its architectural heritage, half-timbered houses, and the iconic Rouen Cathedral, but also the chance to embark on excursions to Paris and Versailles, 90 minutes away, and Giverny, home to the house and gardens of Claude Monet.
In addition to its rich history and culture, Rouen was awarded a Gastronomical City by UNESCO offering authentic Norman cuisine.
