Submitted by ClaudiaSails. Statues of Vikings(?) on the right bank of the Seine River at the Boieledieu bridge in Rouen.
Now, the question is were they truly "Vikings" or Normans which were actually "Northmen" or "Norsemen" and former Vikings? 
In the list of historic events, let's not forget that in 1430 St. Joan of Arc, the patron saint of France, was imprisoned at Rouen in a tower that still stands and now bears her name. Tried and condemned for heresy, she was burned at the stake by the English in the city in 1431.
