In The Footsteps Of Impressionism

Paris is one of the most romantic destinations in the world. Over the centuries, Parisian culture has been built on the wings of inspiration. Music, film, architecture, literature, dance and the visual arts all have their brilliant place in the museums, theatres and remarkably preserved buildings. Behold Notre Dame Cathedral, shrouded in gothic splendour and folklore. Weave among priceless artworks in the sensational Louvre, and along the Champs Élysées toward the Arc de Triomphe. Then let that undisputed Parisian icon, the Eiffel Tower, leave its own vivid impression.

Conflans-Sainte-Honorine, located at the confluence of the Seine and Oise rivers, is known as France’s historic inland shipping hub. Visitors can stroll along the waterfront, admire traditional barges, explore maritime museums, and enjoy charming cafés and riverside scenery.

Rouen, located on the banks of the River Seine, is Normandy’s vibrant, historic and cultural capital. Monet’s famous depictions of Rouen Cathedral have made it many visitors’ favourite building in the city, but there are also many fine museums to explore. In the Joan of Arc Museum, you can find an insight into her life and her tragic death in Rouen. Also worth seeing are the botanical gardens, the cathedral "Notre Dame" and the monastery "Saint-Georges de Boscherville". With excellent local produce, Normandy’s food is known for being outstanding, and well worth exploring.

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.

Le Havre, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, blends modern architecture with maritime charm. Rebuilt after WWII by architect Auguste Perret, the city features striking concrete design, a bustling port, museums, and easy access to the scenic Alabaster Coast. Just a 2-hour train ride from Paris, Le Havre offers easy access to the capital while serving as a perfect gateway to the Normandy region.

Nestled on the banks of the Seine River, midway between Paris and Rouen, Vernon is a charming Normandy town known for its half-timbered houses, scenic waterfront, and rich artistic history. A highlight is a visit to nearby Giverny, home of Claude Monet, where his iconic gardens and lily ponds come to life. Stroll the cobbled streets and enjoy the peaceful beauty of this picturesque riverside gem.
