The history of the district

Le Vieux-Marché occupies the medieval heart of Rouen, on the right bank. It is organised around the place du Vieux-Marché, where Joan of Arc was burnt in 1431, recalled today by the church and the memorial dedicated to her. It is the historic and tourist heart of the city, the densest in heritage and the most expensive area in Rouen.

The district brings together some of the best-known monuments in the city: Notre-Dame cathedral, the Gros-Horloge and its pedestrian street, the Saint-Maclou church, the Aître Saint-Maclou and the rue Damiette, known for its antique dealers and its half-timbered houses. The older building stock, made of buildings with character and flats above the shops, gives the area a strong heritage identity.

Sought after for its character, its central position and its buzz, Le Vieux-Marché concentrates strong demand for older apartments. Supply, constrained by the historic fabric and the scarcity of properties, supports prices clearly above the Rouen average, both for buying a home and for buy-to-let.
