Rouen, France – La Grosse Horloge – Postcard Early 20th Century

This historical postcard showcases the Grosse Horloge, one of the most famous landmarks in Rouen, France. The astronomical clock, set within a richly decorated Renaissance archway, spans the narrow cobbled street below. The clock, with its detailed golden dial and Roman numerals, is attached to a 16th-century pavilion, which was once the residence of the city’s clockmaker. 
The Grosse Horloge (Great Clock) of Rouen is a 14th-century timepiece, housed in a 16th-century archway that spans Rue du Gros-Horloge, one of the city's most picturesque streets. The clock is one of the oldest working mechanisms in France, with its original movement dating back to 1389. It was designed to track lunar phases as well as the hours, reflecting the city’s medieval advances in science and timekeeping.
The reverse side of the postcard follows a classic French "CARTE POSTALE" format.
