The Timeless Elegance of Normandy
About This Cruise
For four nights, your floating boutique hotel glides through one of France’s most historic and beautiful regions—from the stylish metropolis of Paris deep into the green heart of Normandy. This journey combines urban flair with the tranquil power of water, artistic architecture with unspoiled landscapes, and the French joie de vivre with moments of tranquility.
The journey begins in Paris—sophisticated, vibrant, and rich in culture. From here, the route first takes you to Poissy, where royal history meets modern architecture. The silhouette of the Villa Savoye—a masterpiece by Le Corbusier—is reflected in the calm water, while your gaze wanders over the green banks.
Further downstream, you’ll reach Rouen, the medieval city of 100 church towers. Half-timbered houses, cobblestone alleys, and Monet’s imposing cathedral create a scene straight out of a painting. Here, history meets you at every turn—from Joan of Arc to the Normandy of the dukes.
Another highlight awaits you in Les Andelys, picturesquely nestled in a bend of the Seine. Towering high above the town are the mighty ruins of Château Gaillard, once built by Richard the Lionheart. The view over the valley is spectacular—a place where nature, history, and romance come together.
Back in Paris, your journey ends where it began—with new impressions, enriched by the tranquility of the river and the magic of Normandy. This cruise is not just a journey through France, but one through time, style, and atmosphere.
Look forward to your included VIVA Signature Excursion—Rouen: Macaron Workshop in Rouen
