On Rue Saint-Romain, this framing workshop is also a print store. Here you'll admire magnificent views of Rouen, Dieppe, and Étretat by local artists from different periods. Some of the engravings are current, while others are much older, sometimes dating back to the ^18th century. You may not realize it, but Rouen is the most engraved city after Paris, due to its historical influence and monuments. A good opportunity to treat yourself to a beautiful representation of the city of a hundred steeples, or to give one as a gift.
