Culinary Cruise France – A Taste of Normandy

Les Andelys is a commune in France, located in the Normandy region. Dominated by the imposing Château-Gaillard Castle, the small town of Les Andelys, made up of two neighbourhoods, Petit-Andely and Grand-Andely, is nestled in a meander of the Seine and occupies one of the most beautiful sites in the northern part of France. The northern character 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.

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.

Located just outside Paris along the Seine, Poissy offers a peaceful riverside setting with charming streets and historic architecture. Visitors can explore landmarks like the Collegiate Church of Notre-Dame, stroll along the riverbanks, or enjoy local cafés while taking in the town’s serene atmosphere.

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.

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.
