Rouen is the capital of the French region of Upper Normandy on the River Seine, 135 km (roughly 90 minutes drive) northwest from the centre of Paris. The city has a population of 110,000 and its metropolitan area includes some 520,000 inhabitants. 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 the home of the author, Gustave Flaubert.

Rouen Halal Travel Guide

Rouen was for a long time France's second city, after Paris, which explains the richness of the town's artistic legacy. Today, it deserves a visit for its monuments, Gothic art being particularly well represented, but also for the charm of its alleyways and the many half-timbered houses there are.

The town is on the right bank of the River Seine, but today, includes the left bank (the Saint-Sever area in particular, on the south of the river), and the Île Lacroix.

Tickets cost around €21 and can be purchased at the station immediately beforehand. Travel duration is about 1hr 15min. For schedules, visit SNCF travel.
  • The train posting in Paris St-Lazare can be confusing to the first time traveler. The train platform number (la voie) is not posted unil 15–20 minutes before the departure, so do not panic if you arrive earlier than that. Look for the train heading to Le Havre or Dieppe which will be leaving from the platforms to the right as you enter the concourse. Do not forget to punch (composter) your ticket in one of the yellow machines before boarding. This will validate your ticket.
