Rouen has a small city center but with an enormous number of Gothic gems. There is the church of St. Maclou in the Flamboyant Gothic style, the old monastery of St. Ouen, and two unusual remnants of Gothic secular architecture. The Church of Joan of Arc is located right next to the exact site where she was burned at the stake, and contains beautiful examples of late medieval stained glass. The Musée des Beaux-Arts de Rouen features one of the richest collections in national museums outside of Paris, including impressionist paintings by Monet, Caillebotte, Sisley and Renoir as well as remarkable pieces by Velázquez and Caravaggio and Géricault. 

It will be a wonderful experience towards the end of the course on Introduction to the History of Art I and Medieval Art & Architecture. The visit is designed as an introduction suited for all students, majoring in art history or not.
