Gros-Horloge, one of Rouen’s symbols, with the hour hand and the sheep, the city’s emblem, represented several times.
It’s one of the town’s symbols. Remarkable first and foremost for its spelling, this building was in turn the town hall and belfry, of which a tower (1389) and a Renaissance pavilion (1527) remain, spanning the street via a low arch. You’ll find the town’s emblem - the sheep - depicted many times. On each side, a richly ornamented gilded lead dial is framed by two pilasters. You’ll notice that it has only one hand, the hour hand. The interior is a veritable time machine. Not to be missed.

Great tourist attraction. Old clock in very old town. Said to be the most photographed place in France. Situated in a lovely part of Rouen, Old buildings and big name shops. Close to joan of arc Church.
