Le Gros-Horloge

40 minute audio-guided tour of the "Gros-Horloge" (Astronomical Clock) and its belfry, with, at the top, a panoramic view over the city of Rouen.

The yawning renaissance arcade of the Gros-Horloge spans the cobbled street and houses one of the oldest clock mechanisms in Europe. Flanked by the belfry holding the town s bells, this magnificent, richly decorated time-piece with its extraordinary single-needle dials invites you inside to discover, a contemporary theatrical representation of the dial room and the clock keepers apartments. Extraordinary panorama over the city from the top.
