Following the great success of this years trip to Flanders Pauline has put together an exciting package for 2006. Based in Rouen, the capital of Normandy, where during the 100 years’ war the English king Henry V besieged the town for six months until it capitulated due to famine; and where later in 1431, Joan of Arc was burned alive by the English. Rouen is also the 4th busiest port in France.
