Sunday Les Andelys
Around midday we arrive at the charming small town of
Les Andelys.
Our excursion takes you to the impressive ruined
castle of
Gaillard .
The castle was built in the 12th Century by Richard the Lionheart on an
outcrop above the Seine and thus offers excellent views across the
Seine
Valley and the town of Les Andelys. During the afternoon we set sail for Caudebec-en-Caux.
Monday Caudebec-en-Caux
After breakfast we offer a coach tour to the coastal resorts of Fécamp and Etretat (bookable only on board). Situated between high chalk cliffs, Etretat is one of the finest resorts on this part of the coast. We then are taken to the top of the cliffs for a fantastic view over Fécamp, the Channel and parts of the old Atlantic Wall. During the afternoon we have a guided walk in Caudebec-en-Caux followed by a tour to Villequier with its picturesque half-timbered houses. The ship remains overnight in Caudebec-en-Caux.
Tuesday Caudebec-en-Caux /
Rouen
This morning you should not miss the excursion to the attractive port of Honfleur at the mouth of the
Seine . Thanks
to its historic harbour basin, its lovely narrow streets and traditional
half-timbered houses it is one of
Normandy’s
most attractive towns. During the afternoon we set sail again on the Seine
to arrive in
Rouen ,
capital of
Normandy,
in the evening.
Wednesday
Rouen
After breakfast comes a guided walk in
Rouen,
birthplace of the writer Gustave Flaubert. The many Gothic buildings in the
city centre give one the impression of being in a living museum. You will
certainly be impressed by the charm of this city. During the afternoon we
have a coach tour along the „Route des Abbayes“ (
Abbey
Road) (bookable only
on board). This attractive route stretches along the
Seine past a
series of abbeys, including the impressive ruins of the former Benedictine
monastery at Jumièges.
During the early evening the ship departs
upstream to
Vernon .
Thursday
Vernon
We arrive during the early morning in
Vernon.
This is the starting point for a morning tour to the nearby Gardens and
Monet House in Giverny. The village became famous as the former residence of
the Impressionist Claude Monet. It was here that he was inspired to produce
his series of water lily paintings. After lunch there is a guided walk
through the charming small town on
Vernon (bookable only on board). We now set out on our final cruise leg back to
Paris.

Versailles (bookable only on board). Here we explore the richly decorated home of Louis
XIV and stroll through the lovely park. This afternoon we have the final

most important sights – the
Eiffel
Tower ,
the Arc de Triomphe and the Champs-Elysées.
