Spend the morning enjoying the scenery along the Seine as you cruise to the provincial town of Vernon.

The artist lived here for more than four decades and immortalized his ponds and flower gardens in some of his most iconic paintings (open seasonally).

After a scenic morning cruise on the Seine, arrive in Rouen, the historic capital of Normandy. Enjoy a walk through this medieval city and see the imposing Notre Dame Cathedral, painted numerous times by Monet, and the square where Joan of Arc was martyred. Afterwards you will have free time to explore Rouen on your own, perhaps stopping to sample some of Normandy’s famous (and delicious) cheeses. (B, L, D)
Day 4 Rouen, France / Normandy Beaches
Today, you have the choice of three different excursions. “D-Day Remembered” is a full day excursion to the US sector, Omaha and Utah beaches. Your first stop will be Arromanches, with free time to visit the museums and have lunch before visiting St.Laurent-sur-Mer, the US Cemetery at Omaha Beach.

A third option is an excursion to rural Normandy, which includes a visit to the Pays d’Auge and “Routes du Cidre” (the Cider Road).

The town’s 15th-cenutury Sainte-Catherine church has a bell tower that is the largest wooden church in France. As an alternative, choose the "Route des Abbeyes" tour spotlighting Normandy's famous abbeys, more than 100 of which once covered this region.
