Travelog post for: Orpheus

Hi,

today I  had eventually a chance to visit Rouen  . First Sigfrido and I explored a bit the streets of the old town. Here you can see the typical old buildings in central Rouen.




That sort of pyramid in the background is a modern church dedicated to Jeanne d’Arc...who accidentally was burned as an heretic  (just a few years before being made saint  ) here in Rouen....so her name appears quite everywhere around the city



This is a very famous big clock...it is mandatory spot for a photo. Unfortunately we took this pictures early in the morning when the streets were still in shadow while the top of the buildings were in the sun, so you can’t see very well the top of the clock tower 



Here you can start seeing Rouen Cathedral in the background...



... I roamed a bit the alleys of the old town..




...on the way I also checked out some shops...



And here is the Cathedral, that apparently was the tallest building in the world between 1876 and 1880 



Later I visited “my” office at the University of Rouen...



...but I didn’t feel like working so I spent the whole afternoon chatting with Sigfrido and looking at the park from the window
