About Rouen

Learn more about the host city, Rouen.

Rouen is the capital of the French region of Normandy on the River Seine, 135 km northwest from the centre of Paris. The city has a population of 116,000 (2022), and its metropolitan area includes some 700,000 inhabitants. It is where Joan of Arc was burnt at the stake, but the main reason for visiting is its incredible cathedral that inspired Monet to paint over 30 canvases. Rouen was the home of the author Gustave Flaubert.
