Rouen is a historic city in Normandy, France, set on the River Seine. Some cruise itineraries reach Rouen by river, while larger ships may use nearby coastal ports for excursions. The city is known for its Gothic cathedral, half-timbered streets, medieval centre and links with Joan of Arc. Visitors can explore the old market square, churches, museums and riverside areas within a walkable centre. Rouen also serves as a base for trips to the Normandy countryside and the Seine Valley. It suits passengers who want French history, architecture and a more atmospheric inland city visit than a standard coastal call.
