Rouen is an attractive destination for lovers of history and churches. There are multiple impressive worship buildings, none more so than the Rouen Cathedral. Once the tallest building in the world, it was depicted in a series of famous paintings by Claude Monet. The Fine Arts Museum proudly displays several of these Monet masterpieces. Rouen’s proximity to Paris allowed us to take a day trip to see even more art. Our summer visit also included a World Music Day party, a professional baseball game, a bit of the Tour de France, and even an impromptu swim in the river.
