Now, this more like it! Sign on entry to a village square.
Just in case it's not clear:

Pedestrians have priority and can move freely on the pavement.(it's all paved)

Cyclists can cycle both ways

Motorists must be vigilant and speed limit is 20km/h (about 15 mph)

Reflections on Rouen. We've passed through it probably about 80 or 90 times.
Lovely to stay at last near the historic part. Lovely, friendly folk (especially if you have a friendly dog). Beautiful buildings, great cafes and lots of places to eat and drink.
Felt very safe, even wandering at night

Tell me, how can you become a global superstar when you can't sing (autotune/lipsink) and can't dance?
You can act a bit, I suppose.
