The Medieval Streets and Vivid History of Beautiful Rouen, Normandy

Come see the gorgeous medieval old town in Rouen, learn its history, including a little known Christmas seige story, visit the 1300s clock, the market square where Joan of Arc was burned at the stake in 1431, and the astonishing cathedral where so many historic people are buried, plus I'll share our ONE MAJOR tourist thing to NOT do in this otherwise perfectly lovely old town.
