Walking Tour of Rouen

We spent a whole day docked in Rouen. In the morning we took a walking tour with a local guide. Two churches were highlighted on the walk: the Notre Dame de Rouen, an enormous and ancient catholic cathedral, and the Church of St. Joan of Arc, very modern and built in 1979. The contrast couldn't have been more marked. Throughout the walk, however, I was keeping an eye open for interesting shops to return to in the afternoon. I found two pottery stores and did go back to both of them. The second one is where I found two precious little soap dishes - one for Meredith and one for moi.

We savored the French food on board and then settled in for the night and a very early (4:00 a.m.) sailing to our next port, Caudebec en Caux. That will be the next stop in the photo parade.
