Famous Landmarks
Rouen Cathedral
49.4432°N, 1.0993°E
Rouen Cathedral, a Gothic masterpiece, boasts France's tallest spire at 151 meters. Immortalized by Claude Monet in a series of 30 paintings capturing its light variations, it was built between the 12th and 16th centuries. Its intricately carved stone-lace facade is one of the most richly decorated in Europe.
Gros-Horloge
49.4432°N, 1.0993°E
The Gros-Horloge is a 14th-century astronomical clock set within a Renaissance archway spanning the street of the same name. Its one-meter golden dial displays the phases of the moon and the day of the week. It is one of the oldest clockwork mechanisms in France and an iconic symbol of Rouen.
Old Market Square
49.4432°N, 1.0993°E
The Old Market Square is where Joan of Arc was burned at the stake on May 30, 1431. The Church of Saint Joan of Arc, built in 1979 with a roof shaped like an inverted flame, pays tribute to her while housing magnificent 16th-century stained glass from the former Church of Saint-Vincent, destroyed during the war.
Why gift a star map of Rouen?
Gifting a star map of Rouen means immortalizing a moment beneath the Norman sky, between Gothic spires and impressionist light. Whether it was a wedding in the old town, a first encounter under the Gros-Horloge, or a memory on the Seine riverbanks, every Rouen moment deserves its starry sky. A gift as rich and nuanced as Monet's paintings.
The sky of Rouen
Located at 49° north latitude in the Seine valley, Rouen experiences an oceanic climate with often cloudy skies, but clear nights reveal a rich northern sky. The nearby Norman countryside quickly provides sites with low light pollution, ideal for observing the Great Bear and Cassiopeia visible year-round.
