Highlights of the Seine River Cruise

The Seine has plenty of time. And it’s in no rush to leave the most beautiful city in the world.

From Le Pecq / Paris to Rouen and Vernon to Le Pecq / Paris.

Looking at Paris from the Seine will make you feel slightly proud. After all, not everyone gets this view of the world-famous metropolis. You can take your time as you enjoy an overview from here of some the city’s most famous sights. This city has so much to offer that even Parisians don’t manage to see everything. So it’s advisable to choose carefully and give yourself plenty of time for coffee breaks, people-watching, sampling delicatessens, wandering around aimlessly and dawdling. Historical Rouen is located further north on the Seine. The stake for the 19-year-old Joan of Arc was ignited in the middle of this city in 1431. The many must-see buildings and museums will drive away any dark, shiver-inducing thoughts, however. The mighty Gothic cathedral and the oldest astronomical clock can be found in beautiful medieval surroundings. The Seine winds on through forests and rocks – as if it wants to kill time before saying goodbye to beautiful France as it enters the sea – towards Les Andelys. A town that is as charming, thriving and sunny as its name suggests. In stark contrast, the mighty ruins of the lofty citadel Château Gaillard sit atop a limestone promontory, high above the picturesque bends of the Seine. It was built in 1196 by Richard Lionheart as a defence against France. From below, it’s an impressive sight; from above, it offers a fantastic view!

Paris

You don’t just visit Paris – you soak up the atmosphere. Splendid sights such as the Eiffel Tower, the Champs-Élysées, the Louvre and the Arc de Triomphe will captivate you, while twilight walks through the Marais and Montmartre are sure to inspire you. This is a place where time seems to stand still as you take in the city’s grand monuments.

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 Vernon.

The Seine River flows through wooded hills and fields under a clear sky in Normandy.

Normandy

Chalk cliffs, fairy-tale castles, ruins of castles and fortresses and apple orchards where the Calvados of the future ripens. That's what Normandy is about. Add a glass of cider and a slice of Camembert in one of the many small towns? Merveilleux!

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.

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.

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!

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.
