Mont-Saint-Aignan

Mont-Saint-Aignan is a residential commune located on elevated terrain north of Rouen in Normandy. The University of Rouen and NEOMA Business School are situated here, shaping the area with educational facilities and student housing.

The commune was formed between 1815 and 1819 through the merger of several parishes, including Monts-aux-Malades and Saint-Aignan, which existed since the 12th century. This consolidation established the foundation of the settlement as it exists today.

The Espace Marc-Sangnier hosts jazz concerts, theater shows, and art exhibitions throughout the year. These events bring together people from the area and create a vibrant local gathering space.

The area is well connected by public transportation with easy access to Rouen and surrounding regions. Walking paths and cycling routes make it convenient to explore the neighborhood on foot or by bike.

The coat of arms displays a leopard within a laurel wreath alongside fleur-de-lis symbols, reflecting historical ties to Normandy. These heraldic symbols tell the story of the place's deep connections to regional heritage.
