7-night from Paris to Paris
Paris always sizzles while Normandy beckons with its stunning coastline, incredible food and artistic beauty. Monet’s Gardens and the charming harbor town of Honfleur, will inspire you the same way as they inspired the great Impressionists. For inspiration of a different kind, witness the site of Joan of Arc’s historic martyrdom, or travel to the unforgettable beaches of Normandy where Allied forces landed during WWII’s D-Day invasion. Relive the grandeur of royalty at Château de Bizy, once referred to as “the Versailles of Normandy.” Blend a passion for the good life with culture, art, architecture and timeless landscape in Northern France.

What's Included

  • Settle into your City Escapes river cruise in the heart of Paris. Meet your crew, explore nearby cafés, and take a short riverside stroll. You’ll appreciate the easy start, familiar comforts on board and flexible choices ashore that set the tone for longer port stays.
  • Choose how you want to experience Paris today. In the morning, join a small‑group city tour that highlights the city’s medieval past or explore the city by bike. In the afternoon, dive into the world of the Impressionists at the Marmottan Monet Museum, enjoy a guided shopping experience or craft a classic dish with a local chef aboard your ship.
  • Watch the Seine open toward the Channel as countryside scenes unfold from your stateroom or the Sun Deck. This day is ideal for relaxing, photographing river life and enjoying your ship’s amenities, with crew on hand for tips and suggestions tailored to your interests.
  • Walk the U.S. Landing Beaches with a knowledgeable guide or wander Honfleur’s timbered harborside lanes, complete with tastings of local cider and Pommeau, a delightful apple-based aperitif. Later today, you can explore Le Havre’s architecture on a tour led by a local guide.
  • Long Description: Experience Rouen on foot, by bike or through your taste buds with one of three morning experience options. In the afternoon, visit Lyon la Foret, nestled at the heart of the forest of Lyons, or Rouen’s Museum of Fine Arts, which features an extensive collection of pieces from the 15th century to present day. In the evening, you’ll be treated to a special onshore dinner at La Couronne, one of the oldest restaurants in France.
  • Discover more of Rouen this morning through hands‑on moments at a Norman pastry workshop or as you explore Musse de la Corderie Vallois visit. In the afternoon, step into an immersive Viking experience that brings the region’s legends to life.
  • Return toward Paris as the river widens into familiar city views. A private boat experience this evening invites you to enjoy the Seine from a more intimate vantage point, taking in bridges, landmarks and the rest of the City of Light.
  • Say goodbye to your crew and fellow travelers as you disembark in Paris.
