Rouen spreads along the winding Seine in this hand-coloured photochrom from about 1895, its cathedral spire rising above the rooftops, with a Braun and Hogenberg map of the walled city from 1575 inside. In the same decade, Claude Monet painted the facade of that cathedral more than thirty times. For someone who loves France, old cities or a good journey.
