Rouen is a beautiful city in southern Normandy, about a 2 hour drive from the Calais Euro Star train station. Much of the older city is intact after the WWII Allied bombings and invasion. It is a very easy walking city and very vibrant at night.

The overall impression of the city is historical, even though many of the "old" buildings are probably replacements after the war. Historical Jean d'Arc centre worth a visit.
Le Maraicher restaurant was good but staff unfriendly.
Rouen centre is not huge and easily walkable

Great gothic town with a beautiful cathedral and Jeanne d'Arc history oozing from the cobblestones. City center is very walkable and enjoyable. Many places to eat, shop and admire the architecture.

Metrobus system brilliant - could go anywhere for an hour for 1.60 euros. Plenty of good class restaurants at reasonable prices. Lots to see including France's largest botanical garden. People really friendly & helpful. Cathedral stunning with Richard the Lionheart's tomb. Beaux Arts museum worth visiting. Best was stained glass windows museum & workshop. Joan ofd Arc museum. Too much to do in two days.

We really liked Rouen, although it was a relatively small city, I'd definitely recommend going. The streets were magical, it makes you feel like you are living in medieval times. The Cathedral of Notre-Dame and Historial of Joan of Arc were our favorite places to visit in Rouen. For a quick breakfast or lunch, I'd recommend Social Perk which is a small café inspired by the TV show "Friends". Their bagels were great! Also, I'd recommend Couleur Café if you enjoy drinking coffee or tea, since they especially have a great variety of teas. However, almost everywhere is closed on Sundays and there is not even a single person on the streets, so I'd not recommend going there on a Sunday.

It was a week before Christmas so the place was filled with excitement, the big wheel was lit and stalls and shops were magnetically attracting us to buy more Christmas gift or just to window shop.
The restaurants were wonderful, typical French cuisine which is my ever favorite food in the world.
Will be going back here for a longer period next time.

“Room was basic but comfortable with secure parking. Location was a little out of Rouen but walkable distance to nearby St Sever that had plenty of cafes, shops, supermarkets etc”
“Great location. Helpful staff - good guidance around the city. It's a small privately run hotel, great if all you need is a place to take a break or sleep (though it can be noisy when the bars close). And it's a short walk to some great bistros and restaurants. Set your expectations properly and it works.”
