## The neighborhood The Vieux-Marché district is one of the most emblematic and historic areas of Rouen, in Normandy, France. It is located right in the heart of the city and is central to Rouen's history, architectural heritage and social life. 1. History The Vieux-Marché is particularly famous for its connection with Joan of Arc. It was here, in 1431, that the famous French heroine was sentenced to death and burnt alive after her trial. A small symbolic pyre marks the exact spot where this tragic event took place. This square therefore embodies a large part of France's and Rouen's collective memory. 2. Place du Vieux-Marché The Place du Vieux-Marché is a focal point for life and meetings in Rouen. Today, it is surrounded by half-timbered buildings typical of Normandy, giving the area a unique medieval atmosphere. These half-timbered houses are often well preserved and now house cafés, restaurants and shops. The square's terraces are a particularly popular place to enjoy the atmosphere. 3. Sainte-Jeanne-d'Arc church Built in 1979, the church of Sainte-Jeanne-d'Arc is a modern monument that contrasts with the traditional architecture of the surrounding area. Built as a tribute to Joan of Arc, the church's bold inverted ship design recalls both Viking longships and the maritime history of Normandy. Inside, there are magnificent stained glass windows salvaged from the former church of Saint-Vincent, which was destroyed during the Second World War. 4. Atmosphere and social life The Vieux-Marché district is one of the liveliest places in Rouen, not least because of its many restaurants, bars and terraces. It is a popular destination for tourists and locals alike. In summer, the terraces are particularly lively, and in winter, the Christmas markets provide a festive atmosphere. 5. Gastronomy As well as its historic sites, the district is renowned for its gastronomy. There are a number of establishments where you can sample typical Norman dishes, such as the famo...
