Discover Rouen with your own English-speaking guide. Although Rouen was heavily destroyed in the Second World War, it has preserved its old half-timbered buildings and churches, making it more like an open-air museum. Experience the entire history of the port city 120 km upriver and stroll through the picturesque old town.

Discover Rouen with your own people carrier for up to 5 people. Drive through the historic city with its imposing churches and picturesque old town. Experience the port city 120km upriver and customise this trip to your liking.

Although Rouen was heavily damaged in the Second World War, most of its old half-timbered buildings, paved streets and churches were rebuilt. Today, Rouen will remind you of an open-air museum rather than a city. The city of the 100 church spires - as it was called by Victor Hugo - sadly gained notoriety in 1431 when Joan of Arc was burned at the stake in the middle of the market square. Experience the entire history of the harbour city during this guided walking tour.

Normandy impresses not only with its famous coasts, but also with its green nature and spacious pastures. By bus you will drive through the vast landscapes to the picturesque town of Beuvron en Auge, which is considered one of the most beautiful towns in Normandy. A lot of half-timbering makes the ensemble of houses look particularly impressive and makes you dream. After a stroll through the alleys you will experience culinary highlights, which traditionally belong to Normandy. At Christian Drouin you will discover a Calvados production. Everywhere on the farm there is the smell of apples and calvados, which you will of course taste. In addition, the typical Camembert is also produced here and of course you will also taste it.

The village Giverny has gained worldwide fame thanks to a man who lived here for over 40 years of his life - Claude Monet. The paintings of the famous water lilies in his own pond, as well as the flower meadow behind his house, have become impressionistic masterpieces. Today, his former residence is home to a museum. With many exhibitions displaying impressionistic works of art from around the world, Giverny remains a Mecca of the Impressionists, many of whom lived here at least partly around the end of the 19th century. You will visit Monet's garden and residential house and have plenty of time to let the spirit of the little town sink in.
