The Palais de Justice in Rouen’s superb Gothic architecture is also the former Parliament of Normandy.
Formerly the Parliament of Normandy, the Palais de Justice comprises a main building begun in 1508 by order of Louis XII, and two wings. Built on the remains of the city’s former Jewish quarter, it is a masterpiece of Gothic architecture that today houses the Court of Assizes, among other buildings. The interior is richly decorated, and on its facades you can see the remains of bullet holes dating back to 1944. In the courtyard, the remains of a Jewish building have been unearthed, and the Hebrew graffiti has recently been renovated.

Architecture impressionnante pour ce bâtiment. Nous ne sommes pas rentrés à l'intérieur, mais nous avons seulement pu voir l'extérieur... Il fait partie du tour de la ville à pied prévu par l'office du tourisme

The building really very beautiful and very well highlighted since it was cleaned. The fact of having kept the impacts balls on the exterior walls is very well.
