Escape Paris for a day and step into the medieval heart of Normandy's capital, where Gothic spires pierce the sky and half-timbered houses line cobblestone lanes. The route winds from the soaring stained-glass windows of Saint-Ouen Abbey through the photogenic Rue Eau de Robec — a former textile quarter with a stream running along its center — to the Flamboyant Gothic gem of Saint-Maclou Church. After a lunch break in the old town, continue to Rouen Cathedral, home to France's tallest church spire and the subject of Monet's celebrated painting series. The pedestrianized Rue du Gros-Horloge leads past a Renaissance astronomical clock to Place du Vieux-Marché, the square where Joan of Arc was burned at the stake in 1431, now marked by a striking fish-shaped modern church. Plan your visit for a Saturday or Sunday, as two of the churches open only on weekends, and note that all churches close between noon and 14:00.
