## Neighborhood

Rouen's Cathedral Quarter is one of the city's most emblematic and historic districts. Dominated by the majestic Notre-Dame Cathedral, this district is a veritable architectural and cultural treasure trove, where every street tells a part of Rouen's history.

The nerve centre of the district, the Gothic Notre-Dame Cathedral is famous for its impressive façade, made even more famous by Claude Monet's series of paintings. It also houses the tomb of Richard the Lionheart.

The streets around the cathedral are cobbled and lined with half-timbered houses, typical of Norman architecture. You'll find plenty of antique shops, craft boutiques and charming cafés.

Not far from the cathedral, Le Gros-Horloge is one of the symbols of Rouen. This astronomical clock, mounted on an arch, dates back to the 14th century and is a living testimony to the city's history.

The Cathedral district is bustling all year round, but retains a quiet charm thanks to its narrow streets and pleasant squares. The atmosphere here is steeped in history, and every street corner seems to tell a legend from Rouen's past.

Local residents enjoy privileged access to a variety of restaurants, shops and services, while living in the heart of an exceptional architectural heritage. What's more, numerous cultural events, such as markets, concerts and exhibitions, regularly enliven life in the district.

Rouen's Cathedral district is a must for those who want to immerse themselves in the city's history and culture, while enjoying a warm and welcoming atmosphere. It's a place where past and present meet in harmony.
