The 2023 edition of the Armada will take place from June 8 to 18. This event will gather a large number of visitors in Rouen. The Cathedral will also welcome a large number of visitors during these ten days.
We have at heart to present the Cathedral, not only under the historical and architectural aspect, but above all under the pastoral aspect, thus manifesting the presence of the Christian community which inhabits this place.
