Cinéma Omnia République
Cinema near the Île Lacroix.
A rare and atmospheric example of a medieval charnel house that was built in the 16th century to cope with victims of the plague. The half-timbered buildings surrounding a central courtyard are decorated with macabre carvings of skulls, bones, and tools of death. Once an ossuary and later a school of fine arts, it now houses exhibitions and a café.
Museum and audio visual presentation of Joan of Arc, sells itself as "not like a traditional museum".
la cathédrale de Rouen
A stunning building that dates back to the 4th century and is a wonderful mixture of various architectural styles since then. A new spire built in the 19th century meant that it briefly qualified as the tallest building in the world. The façade of the cathedral was famously painted by Claude Monet at various times during the day - like his Haystacks series of paintings - capturing the subject in a variety of lights. In the summer after dark the city puts on a light show projecting some of Monet's cathedral paintings onto the façade of the cathedral itself, each showing lasts approximately 10 minutes and runs until about midnight.
The magnificent Gothic architecture is not to be missed in this abbey built in 1318.
