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.

Since one day in beautiful Rouen is not enough, why not spend another day there before continuing your journey? Plenty of time to marvel at the rest of this city and get even more impressions.

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!

There are countless ways to discover the city of love. Get a spectacular view over Paris from the top of Eiffel Tower. Or embark on a stroll along the Champs-Élysées, which will take you to the magnificent boulevards, exclusive stores and cosy cafés. Art lovers should visit the Louvre, one of the world's most renowned art museums.
