Rouen is a charming little town, with cobbled streets and timbered houses, dwarfed by the imposing cathedral, and painted under many different lights by master Impressionist, Claude Monet.
The Place de la Cathédrale is the venue for Rouen's annual Christmas market and its opening is the signal for Christmas lights to be lit throughout the city.
Expect to find everything from freshly cut flowers to hand-crafted gifts, waffles and pancakes, local Normandy cheeses (including heart-shaped Neufchâtel), apple cider and Calvados.Meals - Breakfast
