Honestly couldn't believe the photos of Rouen when I saw them. Looked more like Ypres circa 1917. I too will be visiting the town later in the year and will now appreciate the extent of the reconstruction....such is war that you never get to hear so much about the people who rebuild the towns.
Quick question: any idea if nearby LOUVIERS took the same punishment as Rouen and if there are any pictures? We're visiting there too as I understand that's where 12 Corps (including a relative of mine) crossed the Seine. I know VERNON suffered badly.
