With millions of visitors expected, getting to Rouen smoothly will matter. Organisers say they're working with SNCF to increase the number of train seats to Rouen during the Armada, and to push greener travel.

The simplest route for most visitors is the direct train from Paris Saint-Lazare to Rouen (about 1h15–1h30). From abroad, fly into a Paris airport and continue by train or private transfer.
