Rouen

This weekend I visited a rainy, chilly Rouen.  Rouen, a small city in Normandie (the North of France) famous for its cathedrale, immortalized by a series of paintings by Monet, and as the location of Joan of Arc's trial and execution.  The old city has cobbled streets and leaning eighteenth century buildings.  There is a big clock, called the Big Clock, that tells the day of the week and the phase of the moon in addition to the time.


Gros bisous,
Maria
