## Neighborhood

Rue des Champs Maillets in Rouen is a street located in one of the city's historic districts: the old market district. It is often characterised by its residential atmosphere and typical Norman architecture. The location of the CHRISTOPHE accommodation is ideal for exploring the city. All the city's attractions are just a few minutes' walk away!

The Vieux-Marché district is one of the most emblematic and historic areas of Rouen, in Normandy, France. It is located right in the heart of the city and is a central location for Rouen's history, architectural heritage and social life.

1. History
The Vieux-Marché is particularly famous for its connection with Joan of Arc. It was here, in 1431, that the famous French heroine was sentenced to death and burnt alive after her trial. A small symbolic pyre marks the exact spot where this tragic event took place. This square therefore embodies a large part of France's and Rouen's collective memory.

2. Place du Vieux-Marché
The Place du Vieux-Marché is a focal point for life and meetings in Rouen. Today, it is surrounded by half-timbered buildings typical of Normandy, giving the area a unique medieval atmosphere. These half-timbered houses are often well preserved and now house cafés, restaurants and shops. The square's terraces are a particularly popular place to enjoy the atmosphere.

3. Sainte-Jeanne-d'Arc church
Built in 1979, the church of Sainte-Jeanne-d'Arc is a modern monument that contrasts with the traditional architecture of the surrounding area. Built as a tribute to Joan of Arc, the church's bold inverted ship design recalls both Viking longships and the maritime history of Normandy. Inside, there are magnificent stained glass windows salvaged from the former church of Saint-Vincent, which was destroyed during the Second World War.

4. Atmosphere and social life
The Vieux-Marché district is one of the liveliest places in Rouen, not least because of its many restaurants, bars and terraces. It is a popular destination for tourists and locals alike. In summer, the terraces are particularly lively, and in winter, the Christmas markets provide a festive atmosphere.

5. Gastronomy
As well as its historic sites, the district is renowned for its gastronomy. There are a number of establishments where you can sample typical Norman dishes, such as the famous apple pie, camembert cheese and oysters. Many traditional restaurants serve dishes based on local produce.

6. Market and shops
Although the Place du Vieux-Marché has lost its original role as a central market (most markets are now held in other parts of the town), it remains an important location for local businesses. The market is often still active on certain days, offering fresh, local produce to Rouennais and visitors alike.

The Vieux-Marché district is therefore both a vibrant testament to Rouen's medieval past and a modern magnet for cultural, gastronomic and social activities. It's a must for those who want to discover the city's history while enjoying its contemporary dynamism.

## Transit

Thanks to its location, you can take advantage of all the transport links nearby.
