## Neighborhood
The Préfecture district of Rouen is a central and historic area, marked by administrative and institutional buildings, but also by its role in the city's political and judicial life. Located near the city centre, this district takes its name from the Seine-Maritime Prefecture, an imposing building that houses the department's administrative services.
The Préfecture building, built in the 19th century, is emblematic of this district. It is the headquarters of the local administration, where important public affairs take place. Its architecture is neo-classical, with an imposing façade and a large entrance portal.
Despite its administrative character, the Préfecture district remains an important thoroughfare for Rouen's residents. There are restaurants, cafés and shops, often frequented by public sector employees and lawyers, as well as visitors who have come to do their business.
The Préfecture district is ideally located, close to Rouen's main historic monuments such as Notre-Dame de Rouen Cathedral and the Palais de Justice. The medieval streets of the city centre are easily accessible on foot, making the district a bridge between history and modern administration.
The district is well served by public transport, including bus and metro services, making it an important transit point in the city. It is also close to Rouen's main roads, making it easy to access from other districts.
The Préfecture district of Rouen is often perceived as a serious, professional and institutional area. There are fewer cultural or leisure activities than in other parts of the city, but its proximity to the historic centre and its remarkable buildings give it a special charm. It is a symbol of Rouen's political and judicial life, while remaining accessible and well integrated into the urban fabric.
## Transit
Rouen's Préfecture district, close to the city centre and the Cathedral, is well served by public transport, offering several options for getting around in and around the city. Here are the main means of transport available nearby:
1. TEOR (Transport Est-Ouest Rouennais)
TEOR is a dedicated bus system that operates like a tramway on wheels. It crosses Rouen's main thoroughfares and links many of the city's districts. Several TEOR lines pass close to the Préfecture district: T1, T2, and T3: These three lines serve stations close to the Préfecture, such as Théâtre des Arts and Palais de Justice. They also provide quick access to other areas of Rouen and the surrounding communes.
2. Bus
Rouen has a well-developed bus network, operated by the Astuce company, which also serves the Préfecture district. Major bus routes in the vicinity include
- Route 8: Runs through the city centre and serves stops close to the Préfecture, such as Théâtre des Arts and Palais de Justice.

This line serves the towns of Saint-Sever to the south and Boulingrin to the north of Rouen.
