Cathedrale Notre-Dame de Rouen
About
The majestic Notre-Dame de Rouen is open to visitors throughout the week, offering free access from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Sundays and public holidays, and from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Mondays. From Tuesday to Saturday, the cathedral welcomes guests in two sessions: morning tours from 9 a.m. to noon, and afternoon visits from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. Group visits of up to 18 people can be arranged by contacting the cathedral office; the fee is €3 per person for silent guided tours that highlight the crypt, baptistery, and the Chapel of the Virgin. Visitors may also enjoy spontaneous, unreserved visits to the nave, transepts, and the spectacular stained‑glass windows. The cathedral’s renowned Grand Tribune organ and the vibrant Maîtrise Saint‑Evode choir provide memorable concerts, and the bell tower’s carillon offers evening performances. Admission is free for visitors under seven years old, €5 for children aged 7‑18, and €10 for adults. A small contribution of €18 is required if you wish to request a Mass intention. This historic landmark is a must‑visit for those fascinated by Gothic architecture, religious music, and medieval art.
