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.

Pour découvrir ce lieu, il faut quitter la rue et passer sous un porche. Vous serez alors dans un espace hors du temps où règne le calme. Sur la rue mais aussi sur les bâtiments de l’âtre, il y a des panneaux et des affiches retraçant l'histoire de ce lieu. A faire lorsque l'on se promène dans le vieux Rouen.

L’aître Saint-Maclou est un monument absolument unique et remarquable, on peut passer plusieurs fois à côté de ce lieu sans le remarquer. Il faut passer sous un passage couvert pour le découvrir.
C'est un ancien cimetière charnier datant du XVIᵉ siécle.

Un lieu un brin patibulaire mais qui vaut le détour. De nombreux détails macabres vous accueilleront :) (un chat empaillé, des têtes de mort sculptées dans le bois, etc.). La visite ramène dans l'histoire de Rouen.
