Rouen ... Not So Rain Ridden

A cold but, not so wet day.

The Parliament of Normandy, Court House is an wonder of renovated Gothic splendor. The front and part of the side of the immense building has been cleaned but, none of the war-time damage has been repaired. This attest to the violence of the allied bombing that the city underwent when the city was liberated in 1944.

The modern Saint-Joan of Arc church look really odd from the outside - its integration with the market adds to the odd nature of the structure. The inside is absolutely splendid; the architecture and construction; the use of the Renaissance stained glass from the former church of S. Vincent. A beautiful space!

Lunch: Delicious baguettes and coffee in a quiet and busy cafe.

The Museum of Fine Art s, Rouen is extensive and well worth the merge 5 euros. An excellent place to spend a wet afternoon.

That took care of the second day in Rouen. Dinner at Flunch recharged or foot hour batteries.
