Itinerary
You quickly lose track of time in Normandy’s capital. But you’re reminded of it again by the 600-year-old ‘Big Clock’. This is one of the world’s oldest astronomical clocks and has just one hand – for the hour.

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.

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.

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.
