How to know us?

Presentation

To this day, over 350 business owners and craftsmen are members of our association. Our objective is to reach 450 members. By those numbers, our action will become more legitimate, by being a truthful global representation of all businesses and crafts shops of the town center. With them, our hope is to create animation centers within the city of Rouen, to federate the two sides of the river around a common goal : revitalizing town center business and make our city shine.

Established on August 31st 2010, in order to represent the variety of Rouen’s businesses, the ACAR (Rouen’s craftsmen and business owners association) is a partner to all local institutions for the FISAC plan. The association’s objectives are the revitalization of Rouen’s business, putting craftsmen, neighborhood animations forward, which will enable all visitors to enjoy our town and make them want to come back.
