The timber-lined streets of Vieux Rouen are a sight to behold

By Chris Littley

Welcome to our newest feature: Dream Destinations, where we show off some of those perfect places to visit in your caravan or motorhome when the current lockdown comes to an end.

In this opening edition, we aren’t venturing too far from home, with a quick jump over the English Channel to northern France and the beautiful city of Rouen.

The capital of the French region of Normandy, Rouen is home to some of the most amazing architecture and cultural attractions of the country.

Visit the stunning Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Rouen with its majestic and grand architecture in the heart of the city, before exploring the old timber-lined and cobblestone streets of the historic area of Vieux Rouen.

There’s also amazing local delicacies to enjoy during your time in the area, such as Pavé du Vieux Marché pralines, sweet calvados liqueur and an array of delicious cheeses – this is France we’re talking about, after all.

Meanwhile, the breathtaking views of Mont Saint-Michel are something not to be missed for those keen to do a little more exploration.

If you’ve visited this picturesque and historic destination in the past, why not drop us a comment and give us your own impressions?

We also want to know where you’re dreaming of visiting in either your caravan or motorhome when the lockdown is over. Let us know your thoughts on what you’d like to see from future instalments!
