Rouen-Les-Essarts was a road circuit near Rouen in Normandy, France, hosting the French Grand Prix in 1952, 1957, 1962, 1964 and 1968. Set on public roads through wooded, hilly terrain, it featured a fast downhill run into the Nouveau Monde hairpin. Its final World Championship appearance, in 1968, was marred by the fatal accident of Jo Schlesser.
