THE CHURCH OF ST. OUEN I ROUEN, FRANCE 



"First in importance is the Church of St. Ouen, crested with that elegant central tower 

 called the Crown of Normandy, gleaming with so many lofty stained-glass windows that it 

 seems all one great jewel, and always ready, if you gaze into the holy-water font, to give 

 you a glorious reflection of practically its entire interior — vaults, pillars, arches, and splendid 

 windows" (see text, page 401).
