The Great Clock of Rouen

In the heart of the city, I found a beautiful astronomical clock that has been functioning for over six centuries. The intricate details on the clock face and the mechanism behind it are awe-inspiring. I learned that it was built in the late 14th century by Jean de Felin and that it is one of the oldest functioning clocks in the world. Beyond its functionality, it is also a beautiful piece of art that features various religious figures, including the Virgin Mary and the Apostles. The clock tower also offers a stunning view of the city that I highly recommend. As I stood there, taking everything in, I couldn't help but marvel at how this clock has been keeping time for so many years. It's truly a remarkable feat of engineering and artistry.
