Bureau des Finances of Rouen, Renaissance building on Cathedral Square, Rouen, France

The Bureau des Finances of Rouen is a Renaissance building on Cathedral Square that displays two distinct facades with ornamental detail throughout. The structure features Gothic windows and classical elements facing both the square and Petit-Salut Street.

Construction began in 1509 as a Court of Aids before later serving as the main financial office for Normandy. This change in purpose shows how the building adapted to shifting administrative needs across centuries.

The building takes its name from the Cour des aides and bureau des finances that sat here; the two Norman financial bodies merged into a single Cour des comptes, aides et finances in 1705. Since 1959 it has housed Rouen Normandie's tourist office at no. 26, while no. 27 has held the La Civette tobacco shop since at least the 19th century.

The building houses a tourist information office that provides maps and guidance for exploring Rouen. Visiting in the morning or early afternoon helps you avoid the crowds that gather on Cathedral Square throughout the day.

The building's ground floor has housed "La Civette", a tobacconist's shop, at no. 27 since at least the 19th century, while the tourist office occupies no. 26. The two institutions share the same Louis XII facade on the cathedral square.
