Hello,
Does anyone know when the earliest train bound for Paris St. Lazare leaves from Rouen? I have a flight at 11h20 out of CDG and I will be coming from Rouen that morning. I know the trip is short (an hour or so) but I need the earliest train out of Rouen so I can get there in time. I would love to know a site where one can look at French train times, the SNCF site is a bit overwhelming and clunky.
Merci mille fois!

The earliest train departs Rouen-Rive-Droite at 05:26 and arrives at Paris St Lazare at 07:08
Sorry, forgot the link to timetables:

Given that I don't know when your flight is, I have chosen a normal weekday.

He who doesn't love gargoyles, doesn't love life...isn't that how the saying goes? Hehehehe! Experience that special rush and thrill you get when you find a hidden, camouflaged monster like this fella here, on the Eglise St Maclou, and you'll believe those words, too...
Half-timbered houses are made of two parts. Thick standing beams and string-pieces (horizontal beams) are arranged on a stone basement (to insulate from the soil dampness) to give a stiff frame on which the wooden floors are set. This frame is not stiff enough and has to be strengthened by smaller logs (colombes) arranged in different ways, that help for the stability of the whole. When they are oblique, they are called "écharpes" (slings), when two are crossed they are "Croix de Saint André" (Saint Andrew crosses).
We have already seen on various occasions, that in Rouen, remains of the past and modernity are often tightly linked. Here an ancient fountain has been inlaid in a modern building. Actually, this is not the fountain, but the ghost of the fountain that has been inlaid as it is not flowing any water anymore ! Just for the memories ! Why not ?
However, I had to come tree times to take this picture. The first and second time, a motorbike was parked in the free space that leaves the fountain. Life is life ! Why not ?
If you have time, don't miss this beautiful little side-street called 'Rue Eau de Robec.' A small stream runs through the street separated by paving stones and archways. The architecture is gorgeous and it's untouched by tourist traps.
Flaubert called the street 'Little Venice.'
There is also a lovely little café along this street - can't recall the name but you can't miss it - and many antique shops.
It's in the Saint Maclou quartier - ask for directions or a map at the tourist office opposite the Cathedrale.
Restaurant "les Maraîchers", also named "le bistrot de la Couronne" is among the oldest on the Place du Vieux Marché. As its name says, it was where the market gardeners (maraîchers) that sold their vegetables on the market, met and had dinner. I highly recommend. The "menu bistrot", for 18€ allows a great choice among the local specialties.
As an aperitif, try the "Kir Normand", it is great !
