 First For France - Seine Maritime Guide
Although 70 miles from the coast, the port of Rouen on the Seine has a very maritime air and its elegant old quarter is full of treasures: more medieval timbered houses than any other French city, a towering cathedral that was painted several times by Monet, and an exceptional Musée de Beaux Arts.
But it’s Joan of Arc that people remember most because this was where she was burned as a heretic.
There are also lots of picturesque villages by the Seine — the artists’ haunt of La Bouille, and Villequier, where there’s a Victor Hugo museum at the Maison Vacquerie.
