There is no shortage of shops in Rouen. There's everything from the cheap clothing stores like Pim to the high-end stuff like Hugo Boss (and everything in between). There are also lots of make-up and perfume stores (Sephora being my personal favorite), bookstores, electronics stores, you name it. Most everything can be found by walking around the city center.

Leaving St. Maclou behind us
and entering Rue St. Romain towards Cathedral Notre Dame. I saw some lovely shops here, a great hat shop (remember, I have a travelogue about my hat collection on my Netherlands page) and upmarket antique shops. Also some shops where you can have buy traditional, handpainted earthenware or have your own painted.

In Rouen, you will find plenty of Antiques. I don't know if this one is better than the others but I have spotted it as it was close to the Aître Saint Maclou, right by the side of the entrance.
