Rouen, through the centuries: a journey to the heart of Norman history

Go back in time and discover the fascinating history of Rouen and the Dukes of Normandy on a unique tour combining heritage, legends, and historical chronology.

Learn how Normandy was born from the Treaty of Saint-Clair-sur-Epte, when Vikings and Franks sealed the birth of a new duchy. Relive the city’s greatest moments through three key eras:

Roman Rouen, its origins and its first fortifications,

Medieval Rouen, the capital of the duchy and witness to Joan of Arc,

Modern Rouen, shaped by urban transformations and major events.

More than just a guided tour, this tour lets you relive the history of Rouen from the 3rd century BCto the present day, following the evolution of the city, its stones, and its soul.

With me, every street, every monument becomes a living witness to a past that shaped Normandy and France.
