Place du Vieux-Marché, Medieval square in Rouen, France.
The Place du Vieux-Marché occupies a central position in Rouen, featuring half-timbered houses, restaurants, and the Church of St Joan of Arc.
The square gained historical significance as the location where Joan of Arc was executed by burning at the stake on May 30, 1431.
Modern restaurants surrounding the square serve Norman specialties while street performers entertain visitors throughout summer months near the medieval buildings.
The pedestrian zone remains accessible from 10:30 AM until midnight daily, with nearby parking available at the Vieux Marché underground facility.
Large cross markers embedded in the ground indicate the exact location where Joan of Arc's execution pyre stood during the Hundred Years War.
