Rouen, Prefecture city in Normandy, France

The city extends along both banks of the Seine River, with multiple bridges connecting medieval districts to modern commercial areas throughout the urban landscape.

The execution site of Joan of Arc in 1431 remains marked by a modern church and memorial in the Old Market Square, preserving this significant French historical moment.

The Museum of Fine Arts contains an extensive collection of Impressionist paintings, reflecting the city's connection to artists who captured its cathedral in different lights.

The TEOR bus network connects major districts with three lines running from north to south, complemented by a light rail system serving the metropolitan area.

The Great Clock, an astronomical clock mechanism from 1389, continues to function in its Renaissance arch spanning the pedestrian street Rue du Gros Horloge.
