Two days in Rouen: the Christmas market in front of the cathedral painted by Monet, the Gros-Horloge and the half-timbered old town.
Rouen, the historic capital of Normandy, sets up its Christmas market in front of Notre-Dame Cathedral, the façade Claude Monet painted more than thirty times. With one night on site, your group discovers the city without rushing: arrival for lunch, a guided tour in the afternoon, then an evening among the illuminated chalets. The next day, Rue du Gros-Horloge leads to Place du Vieux-Marché, where Joan of Arc was burnt in 1431, among restored half-timbered houses. The centre is compact and pedestrianised; it is cobbled in places and some streets climb gently, but the coach drops the group as close as possible. An ideal Christmas getaway for groups who love history and fine architecture.
