When I was on sabbatical, I attended a conference in Rouen. Two days of
papers, mostly in French, deserved some kind of reward, I thought, so at the
end I hied me off to see the real thing, that famous cathedral which Monet took
as a challenge. I found it, but alas couldn't see it. Covered in scaffolding
and tarpaulins. Fair play though--the tarpaulins had pictures of the
cathedral's front painted on them...so you could see exactly what a poor
painting of Rouen cathedral might look like.
