An oasis in a former Rouen cemetery, a serene and shady site for strolling or relaxing, with on-site galleries and restaurants.

This ancient cemetery was built in 1526 to bury victims of the plague. The bones have now been relocated, giving way to a beautiful space where you can stroll and admire the architecture of the galleries in this square courtyard. Observe the half-timbering embellished with reliefs of skulls, crossed tibias, and other gravediggers’ shovels. The highlight? A mummified cat! Today, the site is home to art galleries and a renowned restaurant. Serene and shady, the aître is well worth a visit and can be discovered with an audioguide or a guided tour.

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!!
