Rouen, France


Joan of Arc is considered a heroine for her role in the Hundred Years War and was burned here in 1431 at age 19.  I remember coming here with my family at age 11 or 12 and the impact it had on me.


 


La Couronne is the oldest Inn in France dating back to 1345 and it is now a famous restaurant.   Many famous people go to eat here and put their signed pictures up on the wall.  I went inside and some I saw were Humphrey Bogart, Audrey Hepburn, Katherine Hepburn, Queen Elizabeth, Julia Child, Sly Stallone,  and Martin Sheen, just to name a few.



Cathedrale Notre-Dame de Rouen
Monet painted this cathedral and Richard the Lion-hearted's heart is here.

 


Lukey roaring like a lion and a lion at King Richard's feet.
