Rouen ratings & opinions
How our students rated their experience in Rouen
What our students said about Rouen
Rouen is interesting. It offers good shopping opportunities for almost every budget, but I can't really say for sure. In any case, the gastronomic options are very diverse. As someone interested in history, it was a pity that the Office de Tourisme didn't have a single guidebook or guide in German, English or French about the Notre-Dame Cathedral in Rouen. There was only a cathedral guide in Dutch and in Italian. I was there several times at the Office de Tourisme. The cleanliness on the trains and in Rouen has improved. It was very clean in the station, unlike in 2014.
Germany
I had a positive first impression of Rouen. Without huge building sites, with sunshine and higher temperatures, the impression would have been even more positive.
Germany
Pleasant location, with important historical landmarks which are well-kept, but locals are rather careless about cleaning up after their pets.
England UK
Absolutely recommended! The city is quite small, but there is still a lot to see and everything is within easy walking distance.
Germany
A city with a great historical background! Beautiful, grand and with many great museums, monuments, restaurants, bars, etc.

The focus is very much on conversation and active use of the language. Most of the assignments are done in small groups, so you get to talk a lot. In my course, great care was also taken to ensure that the teams do not speak the same mother tongue, so that you definitely speak French with each other.

Kind and helpful teachers who are all enthusiastic to teach French and speak with all students; confidence in speaking French with others improved after my time in the school, and I appreciate the language more.
