Highlights


Itinerary

day 1 | Paris

Paris is still probably the greatest place of longing for travelers from all over the world. And quite rightly so, as no other city in the world is such an epitome of love, seduction, art, culture and cuisine. Paris is the city for the finer things in life. This begins with the beauty of the French capital. The best way to experience it is from the panoramic terraces of the Eiffel Tower or the Montmartre hill. The city on the Seine offers so many beautiful perspectives that you won't be able to decide which way to point your camera first. But even up close, the beauty of the city's sights is hard to beat. The ornate Notre-Dame Cathedral; the mighty Arc de Triomphe; the sprawling Louvre; the magnificent Jardin des Tuileries; the magnificent Opéra Garnier and the impressive Place de la Concorde are just the tip of the iceberg of sights you can marvel at in Paris.

day 2 | Les Andelys

Les Andelys is a commune in France, located in the Normandy region. The city is divided into a large and small part (Le Petit Andely and Le Grand Andely). At the same time, the small part is located directly on the Seine River. The northern character of the country is also reflected in the architecture of the municipality. This can be seen, for example, in the 13th century Notre-Dame Cathedral. The amusement park Tolysland is popular with young and old.

day 2-3 | Rouen

The city of Rouen is the historic capital of Normandy and is best known for Joan of Arc. In the museum "Joan of Arc" you can find an insight into her life and her tragic death in Rouen. Also worth seeing are the botanical garden, the cathedral "Notre Dame" and the monastery "Saint-Georges de Boscherville". Very popular is also a visit to the clock tower in the charming downtown area of the town.

day 3 | Caudebec-en-Caux

The idyllically situated village of Caudebec-en-Caux has some historically interesting buildings to offer, such as the 12th century house of the Knights Templar and is characterized by a very charming atmosphere. The church of the town with its very artistic stained glass windows is also a worthwhile destination, which impresses with its extraordinary architecture and should definitely be visited during a visit to Caudebec. Outside the city, a huge aircraft monument commemorates the flying boat Latham 47.

day 4 | Vernon

Midway between Paris and Rouen lies Vernon. Unnumerous half-timbered houses characterize the townscape. The most famous shows up during a walk across the Pont Clémenceau: the Old mill, gracefully perched on the remains of a medieval bridge. Already Claude Monet was so fascinated by Vernon's sight that he banned him on canvas. But that's not all: For more than 40 years, the artist lived nearby in a house, which he surrounded with a magnificent garden. What Monet once inspired world-famous works, is today a paradise for flower lovers and recreationists

day 4 | Poissy

Poissy is a historic "royal city" and commune in the Yvelines department, located in the western suburbs of Paris, approximately 24 km (15 mi) from the city center. Situated along the Seine River and bordering the Forest of Saint-Germain-en-Laye, it balances a rich medieval heritage with a major role in France's modern automotive industry.


day 4 | Conflans-Sainte-Honorine

Conflans-Sainte-Honorine is a charming town in the Île-de-France region, around 25 kilometers northwest of Paris. It is picturesquely situated at the mouth of the Oise into the Seine and is a popular stopover for river cruises. The city has a rich history dating back to the Middle Ages and is known for its traditions in inland navigation and is also an ideal starting point for excursions to one of the most famous castles in the world: the Palace of Versailles.
