Overview

You will return into medieval times with this private day trip to Rouen by train.
With the enthusiastic knowledge of your personal tour guide, this will be your opportunity to discover and learn about this historic Normandy tow's quaint medieval and renaissance architecture.
Joan of Arc, a tragic heroin of the 100 years war who was burnt in Rouen, William the conqueror, Rollo the Viking, Richard the Lion Heart (the latter being mentioned in the adventures of Robin Hood) are some of the greatest figures who shaped the history of Rouen, of Normandy, and the relationships between France and England for more than 100 years.
