Additional Description: This is the view northwest along Rue du Gros Horloge. A few blocks ahead, in the arch spanning the road, can be seen the Gros Horloge itself (“great clock”), a landmark in the city of Rouen. It is one of the oldest clocks in France, with a mechanism dating back to 1329 (102 years before Joan of Arc met her fate in this same city). On each side of the arch is an 8-foot clock face and indicators for hour of the day, weekday, and phase of the Moon. A bell tolls quarter hours.
