Appendix: Rouen

And we lunched at La Couronne, just adjacent to that same historic square. They advertise this restaurant as the oldest such establishment in France, dating to 1345. This may be the fanciest place we ever patronized as missionaries. I remember the lunch as delicious, in spite of Mr. Root’s persistent grousing about Norman cooking. D’ye suppose my Norman heritage, however remote and diluted, might still persist in this cluster of preferences? The Norman architecture also merits comment: new style on the left, old on the right.
