Money & Currency
Get a travel card →Euro, EUR
Use ATMs from major banks (BNP Paribas, Crédit Agricole) in the city centre for the best rates; avoid airport and tourist bureau exchange desks—they charge poor rates and high fees.
Visa and Mastercard are widely accepted in shops, restaurants, and cafés; contactless and mobile pay (Apple Pay, Google Pay) work fine; some small bakeries and markets may prefer cash.
Tipping is not expected; service is included in the price. For good service, leave small change (€1–2) or round up the bill. Taxis and hotel staff appreciate a euro or two for help with bags.
Eat, Shop & Travel on a Budget
Cheap car hire →A standard espresso or filter coffee at a café counter costs about €1.20–€1.50; sitting at a table usually adds €0.50–€1.00.
Set lunch 'formule' at a brasserie or bistro (starter+main or main+dessert) runs €12–€15; a quick sandwich or crêpe is €5–€8.
Main course at a modest restaurant or crêperie costs €10–€15; a pizza or pasta dish is €9–€13.
For cheap eats, head to the city-centre streets around Place du Vieux-Marché and Rue du Gros-Horloge, where you'll find creperies, kebab shops, and takeaway sandwiches.
Budget supermarket chains include Leader Price, Lidl, and Aldi; for a wider selection, Intermarché or Carrefour are common.
Rue du Gros-Horloge and nearby pedestrian streets have affordable high-street chains (H&M, Zara, Kiabi); the Docks 76 centre has a few discount stores.
A single bus/tram ticket costs €1.60; a day pass (pass'jour) is €4.50. From the airport (Rouen Vallée de Seine), take bus line 28 (€3.50) into the city centre.
Eat at lunchtime for cheaper 'formule' menus; buy pastries and bread from bakeries instead of cafés; use the city's free walking map for self-guided tours.

Gare de Rouen-Rive-Droite → Théâtre des Arts stop (5-min walk to hotel)
💡 Buy a 'Ticket +' from the machine at the station—it works on trams and buses for 1 hour. Validate it onboard. The tram is smooth but can get busy around 08:00 with students. If the Thérèse des Arts stop is packed, get off one stop earlier at Boulingrin and walk down Rue Beauvoisine.

Paris La Défense (CNIT) or Paris Bercy → Rouen bus station (Gare routière, behind train station)
💡 Book on BlaBlaCar Bus at least a week ahead for the €5 deals. The bus drops you at the train station, not the centre—it's a 20-min walk to Un nid en ville, or grab the T1 bus two stops towards Boulingrin.
