I am soooo falling for the French province
Normandy...and this love is more than something new, I am in love with
this part of France since I first passed there:-) Its the unique
cocktail of cozy towns, cute villages with lovely restored colombage
houses, breathaking coast line rocks and view, yummy seafood and tons of
apples, preferably in bottle of cider!
So this year I was very happy to visit the capital of Upper Normandy, the city of Rouen. And was I pleasantly suprised that the big city has still managed to keep a cozy center with fantastic selection of restaurants, bars and local boutiques. The architecture is breathtaking (churches, the cathedrale) and there is an amazing chocolatier at almost every second corner....And last but not least: here you are in cheese&wine paradise:-)

Compliments for your wonderful shots. I love me too France.
Its most easy to fall in love with these beautiful historic buildings and all the yummy things that are there. I loved my time in France and went every opportunity I could. The cafe's, the scenery, the people, the food, the wine. Lovely post Jana :)
your pictures say it all why you so love the place.
О, страхотни кадри си направила! Харесва ми много духа на този град.
Jana, ik heb met jou een mooie wandeling gemaakt, Bedankt. Lieve groeten, Dietmut
I haven't been there but I'm already in love with Rouen because of your photos!
It must be lovely to hang out in one of those cafes, spend the afternoon drinking coffee and just talking :)
Are you still there or is this a post-trip entry?
@Koryn: we drove there (its something like 500km from the Netherlands, aroun 5 h drive through NL,Belgium, north of France) for a long weekend, as it was my bday present:-) we were Thurs-Mon there; I can not recommend you warmly enough the area Normandy, is one of my absolute favourites in France!
