A quick neighbourhood guide to choosing where to stay in Rouen — for the Armada or any visit.
Rouen is compact and walkable, so almost any central base works — but each area has its own feel.
Which area is best for the Armada?
Anywhere on the rive droite centre or by the Seine on either bank — you can walk to the quays.
Is the left bank a good choice?
Yes — it's often cheaper and still close to the river and the Viking village.
