Getting there
Direct trains run from Paris Saint-Lazare to Rouen-Rive-Droite in about 1h30, and SNCF adds extra services during the Armada. From Rouen station, the quays are a 10–15 minute walk.
The ideal day
Take an early train, do the quays and ship visits in the morning, the old town at lunch, the Viking fleet in the afternoon — see our perfect day plan. Want the fireworks and drone show? They end late: check the last train back or, better, stay the night.
