Rouen private jet: Rouen, known for its monuments and typical medieval architecture, is the city with the most listed buildings per capita in France. This testifies to the architectural and cultural value of this place.
Getting to Rouen from anywhere other than Paris is not so easy and will cost you a lot of travel time, so travelling by air taxi is the ideal solution. If you come to Rouen by private jet, you will be able to see the city from the air as soon as you arrive, you will see the different churches and cathedrals pointing to the sky amidst the old and traditional buildings. With Fly Aeolus, you can also choose to sit next to the pilot for an even more magical experience.
In this article, we will discuss the various things to see and do in Rouen. We will also show you how to get there by private plane.
Rouen, a rich cultural heritage
The most important monument in the city is the Notre-Dame de Rouen Cathedral. Some of the stones used to build the cathedral date back to the Middle Ages. The cathedral is characterised by its detailed Gothic architecture. It is world-famous and considered the “most human cathedral” because of its asymmetry. Work on the cathedral began in 1035, but was not completed until 1506. Both inside and out, the cathedral is magnificent with its colourful stained glass windows and intricate carvings.
You can visit the cathedral from 9am to 7pm on weekdays, from 2pm to 7pm on Mondays, and from 8am to 6pm on Sundays. But you will see it first from your window in your private jet to Rouen.
The Gros Horloge
Another amazing monument is the Gros Horloge. Built in 1389 and classified as a historical monument, admire its gold engravings and its history. They can be seen on both sides of the street. It also has a museum where everything about the building is explained. The museum is closed on Mondays but is open the rest of the week from 10am to 12pm and from 2pm to 6pm.
The Place du Vieux Marché
Take a walk around the Place du Vieux Marché, the exact spot where Joan of Arc was burned for witchcraft in 1431. You will also find Rouen’s market square and the Church of St Joan of Arc, a strong symbol in memory of the French war heroine. The church is open to the public free of charge every day from 10am to 12pm and from 2pm to 6pm.
