No guide, no fixed start time. The hunt first takes you into the world of Street Art Jaw, a large-scale mural project that has brought contemporary art to the half-timbered facades of Rouen's old town. The riddles send you searching the walls for imagery most visitors walk straight past. From there, the route leads to the Musée des Beaux-Arts, one of France's most important regional art museums. Its collection spans six centuries, with particular strength in the Impressionists. The tour's centrepiece is the Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Rouen, the great Gothic church that Claude Monet painted more than 30 times. The riddles explore both its architectural story and the famous series of canvases it inspired. Allow around 2 hours at a comfortable pace. Rouen has everything a great French city should have — and this tour makes sure none of it escapes your notice.
