Paris (Days 1, 2, 3, 9, 10)

Paris, the romantic capital of France, is considered one of the world's most important and most attractive cities. Its cultural and historical significances are evident in its many noted landmarks, including the famous Eiffel Tower, Montmarte art district, the Louvre Museum and the commemorative Arc de Triomphe. The bustling atmosphere on the shop-lined Champs-Elysees, coupled with the many restaurants, taverns, and performances enhances the night-life in the "City of Lights".
Attractions & Activities
Paris and the Eiffel Tower are synonymous. You see it from almost everywhere in the city. But don't miss the chance to go to the top. The view is breathtaking.

Les Andelys (Day 4)

Ancient times are evoked by the hilltop Richard the Lionheart's Chteau Gaillard. Set deep in one of the loops of the Seine River and surrounded by high chalk hillsides, this quaint French town also houses the Nicholas Poussin museum and the Churches of Notre-Dame and Saint Sauveur. Take a riverboat ride along the Seine to the nearby Colegiate of Ecouis and enjoy the scenic waterway.

Le Havre (Days 5, 6)

The port of Le Havre lies at the mouth of the Seine River that flows to romantic Paris, "City of Lights." Paris features the incredible treasures of the Louvre, the Arc de Triomphe, the Eiffel Tower and Sacre Coeur.
Attractions & Activities
Le Havre's prime location between Honfleur and Normandy offers a huge range of options. It's a gateway to the beaches that witnessed the bravery of D-Day and to the coasts and countryside that inspired so many artists. It's also a good place to visit for its art galleries and cafes, and it offers a relaxing alternative to the half-day commute into Paris.

Caudebec-en-Caux (Honfleur) (Day 6)


Rouen (Day 7)

Founded by the Romans, Rouen is situated amidst the chalk cliffs along the Seine, and is filled with half-timbered houses and exquisite gothic architecture. The old city on the right bank of the river is surrounded by a natural amphitheater of hills. Highlights include the Justice Palace and 15th century Aitre Saint-Maclou, a rich example of flamboyant gothic architecture. The city is known for its role in the heroic tragedy of Joan of Arc, patron saint of France. Tried and condemned for heresy, she was burned alive at the stake in the Place du Vieux Marche (Old Marketplace) in May 1431.

Vernon (Day 8)

Vernon, a little north and across the Seine from Giverny, is a charming provincial town. Its cobblestone streets are reminiscent of the Middle Ages, and some of the half-timbered houses feature magnificent wooden carvings. Highlights include the 11th century gothic church of Notre Dame, a beautiful mill built on the ruins of an old medieval river bridge, and the Maison du Temps Jadis (House of Past Times), the city's oldest house, dating back to the 15th century.
Attractions & Activities
Vernon, located on the Seine River, is rich in architectural attractions such as the collegiate church Notre Dame, the Archives Towers, Tourelles Castle and Bizy Castle. Enjoy a stroll along the city's cobblestone paths lined with half-timbered houses. A room in the city museum is devoted to the works of Monet and Bonnard, who lived in the area.
