A weekend in Rouen

And on the subject of the previous entry, here’s what I did last weekend.

Nicola’s Mum had always wanted to see Claude Monet’s house and garden at Giverny, so we decided to combine that with a long weekend in nearby Rouen. I’d often wondered what Rouen was like, as it’s twinned with Norwich, where I used to live. It didn’t disappoint… it’s a picturesque city, with friendly people, great Normandy food and drink (cider and calvados being the liquid specialities) and plenty of significant historical and cultural links.

As ever, I invite you to browse the photos… “Rouen, May 2006″ on Flickr
