River Cruise Aboard AMA Legro, A Trip Report on Rouen

ALL ABOARD .. AmaLegro departed Vernon 6:45AM.

Weather still too cold/wet to enjoy topside... enjoyed the beautiful lounge (lots of floor-to-ceiling windows) as we cruised 58 miles (more locks) and watched the picturesque riverside hoes slip by.

2:30 PM we arrive Rouen ... the historic capital of Normandy and location where Joan of Arc as burned at the stake... a city heavily bombed by the Allies during WWII, and a thriving market square (think "flea market").  Enjoyed a walking tour, shopping, churches and museum.

Remnants of a church bombed by allied forces

Back on board we enjoyed a special French dinner, "Chaine de Rotisseurs"... delicious.  After dinner a short lounge visit featuring a local female singer.  All the walking, cold air, drinks and good booze got to us so it was time to retire early.
​AMALegro remained overnight in Rouen.

Rouen was 45% destroyed by Allied bombings, Foundation of a building, formerly shops.  Lavishly restored office building in the background.
