5-7 day cruise - From Paris to the Normandy Coast: 
Cruises from Paris to Honfleur. A well thought-out itinerary to show you the charms of Paris, little villages along the river, proud abbeys that lend the Seine a spiritual dimension and the attractions of the main cities of Normandy. 

As you approach Honfleur, you will follow the gentle rule of the tides.

Many city excursions are on offer including: Paris for the exploration of its mythical sites, Historic Rouen, including the old marketplace where Joan of Arc was burned, and Honfleur, a superb city situated at the mouth of the Seine, which has barely changed since the 17th century.

Take advantage of the many excursions available: The Chateau of Versailles, one of the most famous and prestigious world heritage monuments - the 'route des Abbayes' with the ruins of the most beautiful French abbeys - the flower-strewn coast, romantic landscapes that captured the imagination of 19th century poets and artists - the chateau of Vascoeuil where art, history and nature come together in perfect harmony - Giverny, with the "Claude Monet" foundation, and the home that will reveal the everyday life of the painter.

Honfleur
Honfleur, located between the tidal Estuary of the Seine and the "Plateau d'Auge" is welcoming in any season. As both, a sea and river port of call, the city of Honfleur has preserved its rich artistic and historic heritage. Discover the witnesses of this famous heritage through its picturesque streets, old houses, museums and monuments.

Rouen
Contrast Rouen's gothic cathedral Notre Dame with its famous namesake in Paris. An extended call in this medieval city offers an opportunity to experience the "City of Lights" from the Eiffel Tower to the Champs Elysees. Perhaps you'll also venture out to Giverny where Monet's home and gardens await. 

Paris
Paris is the capital city of France and every year millions of people come to Paris to marvel at its beauty, savour its exceptional cuisine and indulge in its world-famous shopping. Known as the 'City of Light', Paris benefitted from a huge re modelling program that started in 1852 which gave rise to its current layout, boulevardes, gardens and parks.
