cathedrale notre-dame de rouen印象

The cathedral is a lovely place to visit, in the most quaint old square that is full of street performers and adorable souvenir shops. The cathedral itself is very intricate, with a lovely carved stone stairwell. I recommend you visit it if you have half an hour spare

I went to see this cathedral because Monet painted it, but there's more to it than that. The interior is high and bright and gave me much more of an impression of awe, spirit and "up"-ness than I got from Notre Dame or Chartres. Because of war damage, it doesn't have old stained glass.There are two interesting sarcophagi here: one for Rollo and one for Richard the Lion-hearted. Rollo is the Viking who founded the Dutchy of Normandy. His Norse name was "Hrolf Ganger", which means "Ralph the walker" because he was too big for horses to carry him. Only parts of Richard are here, says the guide-book, but that's two historical connections: one to the end of the Dark Ages and one to the Crusades and the Medieval peak.

The Cathedral is amazing and houses the tomb of Richard the Lionheart, though only his heart was initially interred here. I say initially as over time it too has turned to dust. Inside and outside the beautiful decoration is aplenty. There is one stained glass window which tells the legend of Saint Julian, the sauce of one of Flaubert’s three tales. How many famed artists, including Claude Monet, John Ruskin and Roy Lichtenstein, have produced beautiful works depicting the cathedral’s extraordinary facade, with its multitude of towers and spires? This is an absolute must.

We visited while on a Seine River cruise. The cathedral is large and impressive, both inside and out. During our visit, there were several renovation projects underway outside of the building. We found the interior interesting because it had not had recent major modifications and retained much of its historic feel and appearance. In the front courtyard there are numerous Christmas market vendors, which adds greatly to its charm. The cathedral is worth a visit when in the city.

The cathedral is part of the tour of Rouen's landmarks described on the audioguide that can be rented from the tourist office opposite. The guide is a real gem - with it we went on a walk around Rouen taking in not only the cathedral but also the ossuary, palais de justice, parks, grand horloge and much more. Instead of heads buried in guide books we were able to take in the beauty of the cathedral and the other sights. A real boon, I thoroughly recommend it!

We visited late one night due to its location behind our hotel. What a beautiful, historic piece of architecture. A must see if visiting Rouen.

Lovely church inside and out. I wish it had not been raining so hard during my visit! I thought that the entire city of Rouen was very interesting and worth exploring. As a side note, the shopping was also wonderful. One store in particular sold some of the best candy I have ever tasted. It was called" Chocolaterie." Try the Tears of Joan of Arc!!

What a stunning and beautiful piece of architecture. This cathedral is outstanding and well worth taking the time to walk around both internally and externally.

I think any of these large old cathedrals should not be missed. There is so much history and wonderful art inside. Everyone of them is well worth the effort to visit. Almost all are free but this one in Rouen, there was a beggar manning the doors. They expected some type of monetary gift for opening the door for you. Do not feel obligated to give them anything. I gave the guy 1 euro.Another plus, if you are religious, it is a nice opportunity to stop and say a prayer or light a candle for a loved one.This church is just beautiful, I kind of like it better than the Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris.

We saw the light show in September which used the facade of the cathedral as the screen. It was quite beautiful and amazing with a lot of special effects.
