MV Braemar about to leave Rouen with passengers deliberately positioning their beds to block access to the the front rail.
Not sure whether through stupidity or pure bloody mindedness. Crew later made them provide access.
Of course as soon as the ship moved they all fled for shelter below decks.

Rouen Metro

The Rouen tramway (French: Tramway de Rouen, known locally as "Métro de Rouen") is a network of two-tramway lines in the city of Rouen, Normandy, France on the River Seine.

The tramway operates as one northern route with two southern branches to Saint-Étienne-du-Rouvray and Le Grand-Quevilly. The tramway's combined northern route runs through a 1.7-kilometre (1.1 miles) underground (subway) section in the Rouen city centre encompassing stations Joffre–Mutualité through Bouvoisine; the remainder of the tramway to the south of the underground portion runs on the road surface and on reserved track. Rouen also has a network segregated busways.. Ref: Wikipedia

Pont Gustave-Flaubert - Rouen, River Seine

The Pont Gustave-Flaubert (English: Gustave Flaubert Bridge) is a vertical-lift bridge over the River Seine in Rouen, Seine-Maritime, Normandy, France. It officially opened on 25 September 2008 after four years of work. The bridge itself cost approximately €60 million to build, but the associated approach roads and other infrastructure made the total cost €137 million. Construction work began in June 2004. Rouen City Council named the bridge on 15 December 2006, after the famous 19th-century novelist Gustave Flaubert, who was born and died in Rouen. It struck me as being a ridiculous waste of money since there no facilities for large ships beyond the bridge and the next low bridge is only a few 100 metres away. There are no cargo quays beyond the bridge and the cruise terminal is on the seaward side of the bridge. The tall ships have visited in the past and this is possibly the only time it might be used as far as I can see. It is a very impressive structure and elegant design. Ref: Wikipedia

Rouen Buildings

Rouen is a city on the River Seine in the north of France. It is the capital of the region of Normandy. Formerly one of the largest and most prosperous cities of medieval Europe, Rouen was the seat of the Exchequer of Normandy during the Middle Ages. It was one of the capitals of the Anglo-Norman dynasties, which ruled both England and large parts of modern France from the 11th to the 15th centuries.

The population of the metropolitan area at the 2011 census was 655,013, with the city proper having an estimated population of 111,557. People from Rouen are known as Rouennais. Ref: Wikipedia
