Rouen is a city you run between the Seine, church spires and wooded hillsides. The riverbanks, revamped on the left bank, unroll flat, rolling kilometres; the Côte Sainte-Catherine climbs to the finest panorama over the city of a hundred spires; and the Roumare and Verte forests ring Rouen with trails. On TourMyRun, a local runner takes you along their routes: the Seine quays at dawn, the Sainte-Catherine climb, the Île Lacroix loop, the Roumare singletrack. Not a standard circuit: one hour with a Rouennais who knows the good paths — flat or climbing — and the right tempo.
