Highlights of the Seine River Cruise
The Seine has plenty of time. And it’s in no rush to leave the most beautiful city in the world.
From Paris to Rouen and Vernon to Paris.
Looking at Paris from the Seine will make you feel slightly proud. After all, not everyone gets this view of the world-famous metropolis. You can take your time as you enjoy an overview from here of some the city’s most famous sights. This city has so much to offer that even Parisians don’t manage to see everything. So it’s advisable to choose carefully and give yourself plenty of time for coffee breaks, people-watching, sampling delicatessens, wandering around aimlessly and dawdling. Historical Rouen is located further north on the Seine. The stake for the 19-year-old Joan of Arc was ignited in the middle of this city in 1431. The many must-see buildings and museums will drive away any dark, shiver-inducing thoughts, however. The mighty Gothic cathedral and the oldest astronomical clock can be found in beautiful medieval surroundings. The Seine winds on through forests and rocks – as if it wants to kill time before saying goodbye to beautiful France as it enters the sea – towards Les Andelys. A town that is as charming, thriving and sunny as its name suggests. In stark contrast, the mighty ruins of the lofty citadel Château Gaillard sit atop a limestone promontory, high above the picturesque bends of the Seine. It was built in 1196 by Richard Lionheart as a defence against France. From below, it’s an impressive sight; from above, it offers a fantastic view!
