Overview
Joan of Arc’s judges asked her a question designed to condemn her no matter how she answered — and her reply left the court speechless. That story unfolds at the actual palace where it happened, one stop on this app-based self-guided walking tour of Rouen.
From the spot where Joan burned at nineteen to a Jewish study house hidden beneath the courthouse, this Rouen audio tour traces centuries of drama through medieval streets. Learn how one meal at France’s oldest inn changed Julia Child’s life, why the cathedral sold permission to eat butter to fund a tower, and what a mummified cat in a plague cemetery was meant to ward off.
Offline access, no fixed schedule, no group to keep up with — pause for lunch, linger in Saint-Maclou, or skip ahead.
If you’d rather piece a city together through real stories than follow an umbrella through a crowd, this is for you. Over 20,000 travelers have used our self-guided tours, and a full refund guarantee means nothing to risk.
