The Place du Vieux‑Marché in Rouen is one of the city’s most evocative squares, steeped in history and memory. It was here, in 1431, that Joan of Arc was executed, an event that forever marked the identity of Rouen and France. Today, the square blends past and present, with remnants of medieval arcades standing alongside lively cafés, restaurants, and shops. At its center rises the modern Église Sainte‑Jeanne‑d’Arc, built in 1979, whose sweeping lines and stained glass honor the heroine’s legacy. The square is also home to a daily market, continuing its centuries‑old tradition as a place of exchange and community. Walking through the Place du Vieux‑Marché, visitors encounter both solemn remembrance and vibrant urban life, making it a unique destination where history, culture, and everyday life converge in the heart of Rouen.
