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.

Interessante visita che spiega la storia del Gros Horologe e più in generale degli orologi dal tardo medioevo in poi. Audioguida per fatta e disponibile anche in italiano. Prezzo che vale la visita. Possibilità biglietti famiglia.

Et pourtant ! La ponctualité n’est pas très à l’honneur aux environs

Enjoyed our visit. Thankfully very quiet so no congestion on the narrow stairs. Worth a visit. Audio guide was okay but not hugely engaging.
