Rouen, the capital of Upper Normandy, is a historic city on the River Seine in France. It is located about 100 kilometres (62 miles) northwest of Paris, in the region of Normandy. Formerly one of the most prosperous cities of medieval Europe, Rouen was the seat of the Exchequer of Normandy during the Middle Ages. The city has a long and rich history dating back to the Roman era, as evidenced by its well-preserved city walls and the ruins of a Roman amphitheatre. In the late 18th century, a revolutionary fervour swept through the city, culminating in the execution of King Louis XVI and the start of the French Revolution.
