The Musee des Beaux-Arts at Rouen is one of the best provincial museums in France, so if you are in Rouen on a rainy day like I was (or even if it isn't raining!), I highly recommend setting aside a couple of hours for a visit. The Cathedral Notre-Dame in Rouen was a recurring subject for Monet when he lived in nearby Giverny, and this excellent museum displays one of these canvases, along with works by Gericault, Boudin, Sisley, Renoir, Caillebot, Delecroix and many others. The paintings collection is especially strong, but there are also many fine sculptures and objets d'art. The whole museum has a very modern and professional air. And it's free! Unbelievable for a museum of this quality.

This bustling street from the cathedral down to the market is a lovely one to walk on because of all the things to see along the way. Of course the clock tower is the main attraction especially when the sun light catches it and it glistens. There are plenty of half timbered buidings painted in various colours to see. The street does get busy especially near the clock.

Most unusual place in Rouen. An ossuary dating from the 14th century. Amazing carvings of sculls, bones and grave diggers tools on the ancient wooden and stone buildings. To get the best out of a visit here it is best to read up on the history of the buildings before a visit to really appreciate this place.

It is fantastic to walk around this lovely streets and take in the beautiful medieval architecture. Most of the shops are very interesting antique dealers and some of the stuff on sale is interesting and some very weird. The art shops are the best.

The 90+ minutes flew by as we listened to the story of Jeanne d’Arc in a well conceived and executed multimedia presentation that takes you through a beautifully restored bishop’s palace. The only problem are the extremely uncomfortable earphones that you need for the well done English translation.
