Rouen Cathedral is surely the most ambitious religious sight of the city. The building features various types of the Gothic style and this is also one of the tallest buildings of the city. The building of Church of Saint Maclou built in the early 13th century is no less impressive. One of the church’s halls has been converted into a gallery that exhibits photos that remind of the military events of 1944. While talking about religious places of interest, it’s hard not to mention Church of Saint Ouen, the construction of which took place in the 14th century. This is a building with strict lines in design and numerous tall towers. Inner decoration of the church is considered a real example of the medieval style.
Botanical Garden is the most beautiful place in Rouen. This is a huge complex with numerous different sections and greenhouses. Here you can see a rose garden, rock gardens, and a rich collection of fuchsias and taxa. The total number of plants is slightly less than six thousand, and it’s really hard to find such a large choice of items and bright colors in any other botanical garden of France.
