Highlights of the Seine River Cruise

France is sparkling like the stars in the sky.

From Mantes-la-Jolie to Rouen, Le Havre, Caudebec-en-Caux, Les Andelys, Vernon, La Roche-Guyon and Le Pecq/Paris to Mantes-la-Jolie.

The Seine seems to have adopted the Parisians’ laissez-faire attitude to life as it gently flows towards Normandy. The landscape here – which was named after the “men of the North”, the Vikings, who landed here around 1,200 years ago – is extremely pretty. Blossoming meadows and dense forests guide the river towards Rouen, where Joan of Arc was burned at the stake. The many artefacts documenting the 2,000-year history of this city are highly interesting. It’s easy to see why Normandy has been depicted in so many works of art. You too will reach for your camera more often than usual, regardless of whether you visit Claude Monet’s magical garden or the gorgeous Château Bizy, also known as “Little Versailles”. And everywhere you go, you’re tempted by culinary delights. In France, cheese is revered. Sample as much of it as you can, and find out why.

Le Havre

Le Havre

Le Havre is where the Seine meets the sea – quite literally, since the area between Le Havre and Honfleur, on the other side of the Seine, is where you’ll find not only the Pont de Normandie bridge but also the final stretch of the Seine before it flows into the English Channel. The modern city of Le Havre was granted UNESCO World Heritage status for its completely reconstructed city centre, which was rebuilt after the war. One of its only remaining buildings from the Middle Ages is the Notre Dame Cathedral, which is a must-see.

Caudebec-en-caux

Caudebec-en-caux

Today, visitors to this small town are enchanted by the restaurants and cafes on the river’s promenade, from where you can watch the comings and goings on the Seine. The main attraction is the Notre Dame church, which shows what stonemasons in the Middle Ages were able to build out of sandstone. There are plenty of interesting excursion options here. Honfleur, an idyllic fishing town, has gorgeous little lanes and a picturesque old port quarter that has hardly changed since the 17th century. Even back then, the Seine functioned as France’s lifeline to culture and education.

Rouen

Rouen

Enter the streets of the lovely port city of Rouen, and you’ll feel as though you have travelled back through time. As you follow in the footsteps of France’s national hero, Joan of Arc, you’ll experience history first-hand. This is a city of art too: the cathedral served as a subject for the impressionist painter Claude Monet. Further picturesque sights in the region include abbeys and castles, which you’ll spot on the shore as you glide along the Seine towards Caudebec-en-Caux.

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.

One of the most beautiful coasts in France - the Alabaster Coast - is located west of Rouen and can be reached by bus in an hour. This excursion will first take us to Le Havre, famous for its architectural city centre, the only one from the 20th century that has been awarded the UNESCO World Heritage status. We will continue along the coast to one of the most beautiful seaside resorts on this stretch, the small village of Étretat, which is surrounded by high chalk cliffs on both sides. These also provide natural protection for the city from the dominant winds. Charming castles, manor houses - and of course the outstanding chalk cliffs, which have been captured in countless paintings by well-known painters, determine the cityscape.

Today will probably be one of the highlights of your Seine cruise: you’ll have the opportunity to visit Claude Monet’s house and garden in Giverny. It is a magnet for art and culture lovers and those of a romantic inclination – and rightly so. The lush garden looks like a meadow of flowers straight out of an impressionist painting. The highlight is the enchanting lily pond, the subject of one of the world’s most valuable paintings. And you’ll be able to admire it up close – what a view!

Vernon

Trips

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.
