old Rouen

Railway map from 1930

 

Rouen on the river Seine was badly damaged during WW2, about 45% of the city.   As in most other parts of France these bombardments were by the Allies in 1944. The two postcards from the 1900s show the Pont Bloieldieu across the Seine and the Cours Bloieldieu.  The railway tracks along the Seine visible in the first picture have since been removed.
