Review & FAQ:

In the historic Normandy city of Rouen, art lovers can immerse themselves in the birthplace of Impressionist and post-Impressionist art, starting at the Museum of Fine Arts, which houses the second largest Impressionist collection in the country. Everyone should make a point to visit Panorama XXL, a unique 360-degree artistic illusion that will take you back in time to the city as it looked six centuries ago.

You can see all the main historical attractions on an audio-guided walking tour, which includes visits to the Cathedral of Notre-Dame and the Gros Horloge – one of the oldest working clocks in Europe. For a change of pace, you can take a scenic boat trip on the Seine, take a walk through the Sculpture Garden, shop for antiques, or visit the local market.
