10/29/26 - Rouen at Night and a Nature Store

Rouen was beautiful at night even in the rain.

Maybe it was COVID, but we really enjoyed exploring the shops in Rouen. As noted, the big chains were there, but there were also all sorts of stores that seemed wonderfully exotic. We're all too familiar with the shelves of an American Walgreen's or CVS, but the shelves of a French pharmacy, probably part of a big chain, were fascinating.

France was in the midst of a civil crisis, so we saw some signs of the rioting and disruption. We still don't know how to say plywood in French, but we saw enough of it on shop windows.
