💡 Book a fixed-price transfer with a Rouen-based firm like Taxis de Rouen to avoid surge pricing. Ask for a Renault Espace if you have luggage—boot space is tight in saloons.
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.
Gare de Rouen-Rive-Droite → Un nid en ville, Rouen centre
💡 Don't take the tram from the station if your hotel is in the old town—it's a pleasant 10-min walk across the bridge. The TEOR bus lines T1, T2 and T3 run along the quays if you're carrying bags.
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.
