The main attraction in Rouen is its cathedral which is currently undergoing major restoration, so not many exterior photos. It’s too big to get in one photo anyway. Monet painted it many times, from a rented room directly opposite the face of the cathedral. I have to say, it looks better through his eyes than in real life. Rouen was also where Joan of Arc was tried and condemned.

Both of them sitting perfectly still. Weird. |
