The Paroisse Saint‑Romain in Rouen is a historic parish deeply tied to the city’s spiritual and cultural identity. Named after Saint Romain, the patron saint of Rouen, it has long been a center of community life and devotion. The church reflects centuries of architectural evolution, blending Gothic elements with later restorations that preserve its solemn beauty. Inside, visitors find chapels, altars, and artworks that testify to the enduring faith of the parish. Beyond its religious role, Saint‑Romain is also linked to local traditions, including the famous “Privilege of Saint Romain,” a medieval custom in which the archbishop could pardon a prisoner each year. Today, the parish continues to welcome worshippers and visitors alike, offering a living connection between Rouen’s past and present. It stands as both a place of prayer and a monument to the city’s rich heritage.
Rouen FranceParoisse Saint Romain, centered on Église Saint-Romain, is located at 15-17 Rue du Champ des Oiseaux, at the corner with Rue de La Rochefoucauld, in Rouen's Gare Jouvenet neighborhood near Rouen-Rive-Droite train station.
