In the first-floor room of the Bureau des Finances, the Renaissance building opposite the cathedral, Monet painted part of his cathedral series between 1892 and 1893. Today it is closed to the public except for this two-hour workshop, with a visual artist: a presentation of Monet, his palette and his brushwork, and then your own version of the façade with sketches, pastel and acrylic. You take away what you paint.
What it is like
Four to ten participants; if four are not reached, it is cancelled. At the end there is a mirliton, the vanilla, orange-blossom and almond cream tartlet typical of Rouen, with local apple juice. Book on the tourist office website, on fixed dates.
