Thanks for all of the recommendations! But this is where we have to make a decision between renting a car and just sticking to trains. If we do go by car (and I can see some upside -- as well as downside -- to doing so), those are some excellent ideas! But I suspect that my wife and mother-in-law will prefer to do this by train. We'll see!

Thanks! I have many art history friends; so I appreciate the suggestions. It sounds like entertaining ourselves in Rouen won't be hard at all.
