We meet in front of the "PUBLIC" restaurant. You can recognize me easily because I always wear a green or orange badge around my neck. If you can't find me, you can ask the restaurant staff.

Relaxed and informative walking tour in old Rouen - À great walking tour around old Rouen, Élodie told us lots of stories and had great historical knowledge. Good to do the tour at the start of your stay so you can go back and look around all the sites in more detail. We learnt a lot including where to find some good restaurants

A great start to any trip tomRouen - We had an excellent tour with Elodie. Her English is excellent and she knows exactly how much information to deliver without boring. The tour gave us a very good orientation in Rouen and we were then able to go away and explore on our own and follow up on a couple of her tips
Excellent value

Nice overview - A nice tour for seeing the main sights and for learning interesting facts (vs some of the myths out there). Elodie was very pleasant and great with pointing out fun architectural details one would otherwise miss. A plus was that our group was much smaller than others.

Recommended!! - Bel tour! Elodie was very professional and very kind; she told us many little gems of the center of Rouen that alone would be impossible to discover and know. Recommended!

Great city - A long walk through its streets. Impressive street of the Clock which only has a saeta and the facades of the houses.
