## Neighborhood
The Préfecture neighborhood in Rouen is a central and historic area known for its administrative and institutional buildings, and plays a key role in the city's political and judicial life. Located near the city center, it takes its name from the imposing 19th-century Préfecture de Seine-Maritime, which houses the local government offices and features neoclassical architecture.
The area features classical architecture, often Haussmann-style or neoclassical, with touches of modernity in recent buildings. You'll find stone-lined streets, quaint squares, and green spaces, offering a touch of calm in an otherwise lively district.
Despite its administrative nature, the Préfecture neighborhood is a bustling area visited by locals for various errands. You'll find cafés, restaurants, and shops frequently visited by civil servants, lawyers, and visitors alike.
Its proximity to historic landmarks like Rouen Cathedral and the Palais de Justice, along with its easy access to Rouen’s medieval streets, makes it a great mix of tradition and modern life.
The area is well-connected by public transport, including bus and metro lines, and offers easy access to the main roads—making it both a symbolic and practical location within Rouen’s urban landscape.
