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.

Join us on this fascinating excursion! You'll get to see some of the most beautiful chalk cliffs in Normandy, which have already been captured in countless works of art by famous painters. Explore the village and its old market and enjoy a panoramic view of the snow-white cliffs. Afterwards, change your perspective on the Alabaster Coast and glide through the sea with your board and paddle. Experience the cliffs up close and enjoy a magical moment.

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.

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. This tour will be a special experience in the footsteps of Monet.

Have you been inspired during your tour through Monet's garden? Then bring your own impressionistic masterpiece to the canvas! Our art expert and artist from Vernon will show you how. Of course, you can take your own painting home with you to have a lasting memory of this unforgettable experience.

The medieval town of Vernon is often outshone by Giverny, but this is completely unjustified. During a stroll through the historic centre you will see many historic buildings and pay a visit to the well-fortified Notre-Dame church. Almost all windows of the church were destroyed in the Second World War, but one from the end of the 15th century escaped destruction and can still be admired.

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.

Would you like to explore the city on your own while travelling in comfort? Then book a private people carrier for up to 5 people. You can also book an expert tour guide at the same time if you wish.
