Places of remembrance

Normandy is region full of history as a walk through any of the cemeteries in the CREA (Communauté d'agglomération de Rouen-Elbeuf-Austreberthe) will show.

Famous people buried here include the poet José Maria de Heredia and Albert 1st of Belgium.

Like so many places in Normandy Rouen was heavily affected by the Second World War and the war graves in British St Sever Cemetery in Petit Quevilly bear witness to the bravery and sacrifice of those years.
