The former Finance Office has facades decorated with Arabesque pilasters and candelabras

The former Finance Office (or more precisely the tax administration of the Rouen generality, under the old regime) was built between 1509 and 1511. Cardinal Georges d’Amboise entrusted its construction to the famous Roulland Le Roux, one of the architects of the central portal of the cathedral, located just opposite. Its style, marking a step after the Rouen Courthouse and the Hôtel Bourgtheroulde, testifies to an art of transition between Gothic art and the first Renaissance, known as the Louis XII style. The façades are decorated with arabesques and candelabra pilasters, medallions framed by geniuses and niches topped with canopies. Today, it is the headquarters of the Rouen Tourist Office. Only the ground floor and the courtyard can be visited, but it is on the first floor that Monet settled to build part of his series of cathedrals in the 1890s.

The façade is very interesting, but what a pity that the façades (Central Pharmacy and Etam!) in the extension and opposite the cathedral are so lamentable! How can Rouen allow that?
