Rouen through the centuries: a journey through the history of Normandy
Travel 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 the Vikings and Franks sealed the birth of a new duchy. Relive the city's great moments through three key eras:
Roman Rouen, its origins and its first fortifications,
Medieval Rouen, capital of the duchy and witness to Joan of Arc,
Modern Rouen, marked by urban transformations and major events.
More than just a guided visit, this tour takes you through the history of Rouen from the 3rd century BC to the present day, following the development of the city, its buildings, and its soul.
With me, every street, every monument becomes a living witness to a past that shaped Normandy and France.
*I am dependant on the opening times of the cathedral. On some occasions, the tour may be conducted in both English and French, depending on the number of bookings I have.
