Rouen Historical Guided Walking Tour of the Old Town

Go back in time and discover the fascinating history of Rouen and the Dukes of Normandy on a unique tour that blends heritage, legends and historical chronology. Learn how Normandy was born out of the Treaty of Saint-Clair-sur-Epte, when Vikings and Franks sealed the birth of a new duchy. Relive the city’s highlights through three key periods: Roman Rouen, its origins and its first fortifications, Medieval Rouen, capital of the Duchy and witness of Joan of Arc, Modern Rouen, marked by urban transformations and major events. This tour takes you through the history of Rouen from the 3rd century BC. C. to the present day, following the evolution of the city, its stones and its soul. *I am dependent on the opening hours of the cathedral. On occasion, the tour may be in both English and French, depending on the number of reservations I have.
