The square was smaller and its space was occupied by the Saint-Sauveur church, the Saint-Michel church and by a large market hall. It was also the usual place of executions. A large cross was erected on the site of the pyre. In the middle of the square, the remains of the old Saint-Sauveur church have been unearthed. It is in this modest parish church that Pierre Corneille was baptized, his birthplace, rue de la Pie, now transformed into a museum located nearby. Today it is a lively square, around which are restaurants and bars

History tour of Rouen

Rebecca F, Dec 2024

5!! Elodie gave our family a private tour of Rouen. Length - perfect, Historical depth - great detail descriptions and price - very reasonable! We were jet lagged and she was able to keep us engaged and moving at a nice pace. We highly recommend her services!

Thank you very much for this great comment. My visits are always interactive and fun because it is one of the best ways to discover the soul of a city.

Great tour with Ludovic!

Although it had been raining and drizzling, Ludovic brought the sunshine with him with his cheerful, informative, interesting, and funny insights to his city. He is extremely knowledgable and describes in fascinating details the highlights of Rouen. We took his tour in French, but his English is quite good too, so even if you don't speak French, you will enjoy his tour and learn an incredible amount about this lovely city. We would definitely book his tour again. Merci, Ludovic!
