Latest Rouen hotel reviews
Helpfulness
Favorite thing: In almost any street in the old town one can find half-timbered houses and in some places besides the main street (r. de l' Horloge) a whole series of them especially in the squares (like the Vieux Marche). In the most active areas they may contain fine shops at the ground level (as they did centuries ago). However around the corner from our hotel at the edge of the old town we encountered this old building with a simple fruit and vegetable store at the ground level where we obtained our late evening snacks.

Fondest memory: I was pleased yet amazed to see these brilliant flowers available in the middle of winter!!! Their bright colors were in happy contrast to most other trees and plants...and the bonus of course, was that Rouen is also home to many, many doggies!! HA!!!! ;-))

Favorite thing: Rouen is a great location for a weekend. Everything is walkable, there are many good shops and markets and you can overdose on lovely old architecture.
Fondest memory: Enjoying the sunshine, sitting outside on a market square, enjoying a cool drink, peoplewatching.

Favorite thing: See, Rouen (town of Normandy - France). City of art and city of history, this large town of 105 000 residents is also an economical metropolis with a port and a commerce very active.
