La Couronne, Traditional French restaurant in Place du Vieux Marché, Rouen, France.
The restaurant occupies a timber-framed building at number 31 Place du Vieux Marché, featuring six distinct dining rooms across multiple floors.
Founded in 1345, La Couronne maintains its position as the oldest continuously operating restaurant in France, serving customers from the same location for centuries.
Julia Child's first French meal at La Couronne in 1948 marked the beginning of her journey into French cuisine and subsequent influence on American cooking.
The establishment welcomes diners every day from 12:00 to 14:30 for lunch and 19:00 to 22:30 for dinner, with reservations available online or by phone.
The restaurant preserves the recipe for Duck à la Rouennaise, requiring chefs to belong to the Ordre des Canardiers to prepare this specialized Norman dish.
