## Neighbourhood
The Cathedral district in Rouen is one of the most iconic and historic areas of the city. Dominated by the majestic Notre-Dame Cathedral, this district is a real architectural and cultural treasure, where every street tells a part of Rouen's history.
The nerve centre of the neighbourhood, the Gothic Notre-Dame Cathedral is famous for its impressive façade, made even more famous by Claude Monet's series of paintings. It also houses the tomb of Richard the Lionheart.
The streets around the cathedral are cobbled and lined with half-timbered houses, typical of Norman architecture. You'll find lots of antique shops, craft boutiques and charming cafés.
Not far from the cathedral, Le Gros-Horloge is one of Rouen's symbols. This astronomical clock, installed on an arch, dates back to the 14th century and is a living testimony to the city's history.
The Cathedral district is lively throughout the year, but retains a quiet charm thanks to its narrow streets and squares where it is pleasant to stroll. The atmosphere is steeped in history, and every corner seems to tell a legend from Rouen's past.
Residents of the neighbourhood enjoy privileged access to a variety of restaurants, shops and services, while living in the heart of an exceptional architectural heritage. In addition, numerous cultural events, such as markets, concerts and exhibitions, regularly enliven the neighbourhood.
The Cathedral district in Rouen is therefore a must-see for anyone wishing to immerse themselves in the history and culture of the city, while enjoying a warm and welcoming atmosphere. It is a place where the past and the present come together in harmony.
