Has anyone been to Rouen, France?

We will be docking in Le Havre & since we've already been to Paris, wanted to tour Rouen. Have you done this? Is it worthwhile? Any suggestions - what to see, how to get there, tours? If not Rouen, do you have a recommendation for another city to visit

We were just in Rouen on Wednesday while docked in Le Havre! What a beautiful city, loved it and would love to spend some time there. We took a cab to the train station and then took the train. It was only a 45 minute train ride, very comfortable and quick and you came right into town. I actually booked the tickets prior to the trip and had them delivered, it was very easy.

If you do a search, you'll come across the website for their tourist board and they can send you some information.

Thanks for your reply! Did you spend all day in Rouen? Any must sees?

Is there time to visit other cities/towns such as Hornfleur, Eterat (spelling?) on your own? Any propblems getting a taxi to/from train station?
