Rouen's Century Gros Watch
This mesmerising photograph captures Rouen's Gros-Watch, a monument that seems to have defied time and still reflects the city's rich history.
The Gros Watch, with its impressive clock and ornate architecture, takes centre stage in this composition. The timepiece, ancient yet so precise, is not only a practical instrument but also a tangible piece of heritage.
Beneath the majestic structure, people stroll quietly by, each in their own time dimension. The streets around it breathe history, with the atmosphere of days gone by still palpable.
Rouen itself, steeped in art, culture and architectural splendour, plays a crucial role in this visual story. The city reflects the elegance of the past and the vibrancy of the present.
Let this picture invite you to take a moment to reflect on time, both that of Rouen's beating heart and that of the timeless Gros-Horloge.
