Rouen & Caen

During our stay in Normandy, we decided to take a day trip to a couple places outside of the D-Day sites. Rouen is where Joan of Arc was executed in 1431.

Rouen

 Church of St. Joan of Arc

 Rue du Gros-Horloge

Cathedrale Notre-Dame de Rouen

St. Maclou's Church
I LOVED this church! I have never seen a white Cathedral before. They never knew it was white till a few years ago when they started to cleaned it, lol.


 Caen
 Caen is known for its historical buildings built during the reign of William the Conqueror, who is buried here, and for the Battle of Caen in 1944, destroying much of the city.
