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.
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.
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!
Off we go, along the Seine. Your cruise will start in Paris and explore northern France. A wealth of cities, towns and landscapes awaits you. You’ll also have the opportunity to get acquainted with the French joie de vivre, of course. And Paris? You’ll be right at the heart of the action – perfect for discovering the beauty of this city. Welcome aboard!
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 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.

Would you like to find out more about the life and work of the famous impressionist in Monet's garden? With your private tour guide, you can experience the garden in much greater depth and admire further impressionist masterpieces in the Musée des Impressionism in Giverny.

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.
