Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Great Cities of Europe Second Series Rouen, the ancient capital of Normandy, is a big manufacturing centre, full of life and bustle, as well as a most picturesque city with splendid Gothic and Renaissance buildings. It lies principally on the right bank of the Seine with hills rising behind it. It is connected with the faubourg of St. Sever by a stone and a suspension bridge, and a railway viaduct. The river has been deepened, and docks and quays built to make a large and flourishing port. The old walls and moats have been destroyed to give place to fine boulevards, which, as well as the handsome quays, are full of life and movement. This combination, or rather contrast, of mediæval and modern life is full of charm and never fails to fascinate the traveller from the New World. Among the old houses and fine specimens of architecture modern shops display articles that tempt the tourist. Here is a jeweller´s shop; here, an antique shop; here old silver is offered; here, china; and here the fine cotton goods, rouenneries, for which Rouen is so famous.
