We decided to spend the morning at Rouen and see the market.
 |
| Joan of Arc |
The restaurant we had dined at the night before had been right across the weird Viking ship chapel that commemorates Joan of Arc, but it was really interesting to see it in the daylight.
We also went around the famous cathedral of Rouen:
Saw the big clock:
Tried out some treats:
 |
| These are called "chouquettes" and are a light pastry topped with bits of sugar. |
And went to the Beaux-Arts Museum.
 |
| "Portrait Presume de son geolier" Jacques-Louis David |
 |
| "Nature morte aux fleurs" Moise Jacobber |
 |
| something by Camille Pissarro |
On the way back to Paris we stopped by Monet's garden in Giverny!
So beautiful!
After the gardens we piled back onto the bus and returned to Paris. Such a lovely trip, but I wish we had gotten to explore Normandy a bit more!
