From Rouen Cathedral to the Elbeuf Circus-Theater
Rouen, "the city of a hundred bell towers" has a rich heritage. Some buildings are particularly emblematic.
- Attached to a Gothic belfry, the vault and the Renaissance pavilion of the Gros-Horloge houses a 16th century astronomical clock, one of the oldest clock mechanisms in France.
- Immortalized by Claude Monet, Notre-Dame de l'Assomption, the Gothic cathedral of Rouen dominates the city.
- The Place du Vieux Marché where the site of Joan of Arc's pyre erected in 1431 is today marked with a large cross, a few steps away, the Joan of Arc museum bears witness to the mark left on Rouen by the Maid of Orleans.
- The Grand Aître Saint-Maclou cemetery bears witness to the ravages of the great black plague of 1348.
South of Rouen, the 1892 Elbeuf Circus-Theater is part of the small circle of the last eight "permanent" circuses in France. Reopened in 2007 to house the regional circus arts center, it is a major cultural center in the region.
