Inspired by some VT friends' pages, I took the train from Paris to the capital of Normandy, this beautiful town where Jeanne D'Arc was burned.
The Left and Right Banks of the city are very different: the 'Rive Gauche' suffered more damages during WW2 and today is just a normal modern town, while the 'Rive Droite' kept most of its important buildings in good conditions.
There are lots of great gothic churches here, and unlike Paris, there are many medieval wooden houses well preserved in Rouen.

hi! your rouen page is sooo helpful i managed to do alot of my report by using your information alone!!! thanks!!!
If Paris is on the schedule for Feb, then a sidetrip back to Rouen must be, too, don't you think? thanks for the cool Aitre St Maclou memories...;-)
I love rouen and your page brings back a lot of good memories. Nice pics and well-designed page. Well done.
I have always liked the Monets of the Cathedral, but didn't know Rouen. Thanks 2 U it will likely be my sidetrip from Paris this Sept/Oct. Great pages & thanks much for sharing.
I didn't know Rouen is so beautiful! I must visit it during my next trip in France! Thanks for sharing, Orlando!
Great tips and info about an interesting town. Thanks
What a wonderful town... and a big regret I didn´t go there when I was in Paris... but there was also not enough time. So I will be back some day and visit Rouen too.
I live relatively close to Rouen, but I've never been there. This page has inspired me to make the visit.
Excellent travail ! Great photography...
Bon oeuvre!
