Aitre Saint Maclou

It is a place for whom want to deep dive into history, art, culture in old France. I loved the ceramics, history of ceramics, also there is Cafe Hamlet. But expect so many people.

Incredible cool museum, the works of art are beautiful and the choice of the color of the walls is so spot on! So much to see. Most incredible part is that there is no entrance fee!!

Aitre Saint Maclou is a fascinating historic site with a unique and atmospheric setting. The architecture and carvings are impressive, offering a glimpse into Rouen’s rich history. A bit quiet and small, but definitely worth a visit for history enthusiasts.

This used to house an ossuary and cemetery but the bodies were exhumed when it became too crowded. It has had many uses since the Middle Ages but many of the original decorative motives still exist. A fascinating place with a deep history.

This was a cemetery in the Middle Ages but little is to be seen of that except the decoration on the walls of the court and a mummified cat in a glass window. It has then become a school and now it seems to be a meeting spot for art activities. There are boards explaining the history of the place. Unluckily the restaurant was closed as we visited.

This is an amazing location with a very cool history. There is a little restaurant inside (which we didn't go to so I can't review it) but we mostly just walked around, enjoying the calm as well as the very interesting historical carved decorations.

An interesting history and surprising modern uses. Well worth a visit especially to the upstairs galleries and exhibition of clay pottery making.

Unmissable if in the area. Well kept courtyard (a cemetery in the Middle Ages) and sculptural columns. Now converted into an art space with a crafts shop.
