Rouen is a historic town with a mediaeval quarter and a remarkable cathedral, famously painted by impressionist Claude Monet. It was a fortified city in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries and a flourishing port in the nineteenth century, when French novelist Gustave Flaubert lived there. It was badly damaged during the second world war, first by fighting between French and German forces in 1940 and then by Allied bombing in 1944, but has been extensively restored. Its city hall, courts of justice and cathedral are among the finest in northern France.
