#6 Lived there in the late 1970's. All the cathedrals had been rebuilt/restored to perfect integrity. Most of the medieval buildings had been rebuilt and restored. The rose that had lived for a 1000 years still grows... The most beautiful city I ever saw. Even had a war memorial to the soldiers who died (with the Allies) at the Battle of Waterloo.
