As incredible as that can appear, this photograph is taken in full center of Rouen! There remained a place, just shaven after this turning, or of the coal dunes 10 meters height allowed this kind of photographs. Located between two banks, one discharged on the Peninsula from Large Rollet from the coal coming from the cargo liners and this, since the beginning of last century. All was black on several hectares: this kind of black which infiltrated on several meters in the ground, preventing least bad grass from pushing. An end of the Moon to some extent…

It was our preferred natural decoration. We had already turned there the introduction of the clip "Morituri" a few years before, and the idea that this place was going soon to be striped chart saddened us deeply.
Today one sees there the building site of the future sixth bridge of Rouen…
