The Vieux-Marché district in Rouen is one of the most emblematic and historic places in the city, with its famous square, the church of Sainte-Jeanne-d'Arc and the covered market. The district is enlivened by numerous cafés, brasseries and restaurants offering a variety of cuisines, from Norman specialities to international dishes. The establishments' terraces offer pleasant views over the square and are ideal for relaxing.
