Embarking in Paris, take a Seine River cruise to the picturesque port city of Rouen, Normandy, located in the northwest of France. Rouen is the historically significant capital city of the French region of Normandy. Rouen has a population of around 600,000 inhabitants that reside on both sides of the Seine River and has an extensive history with the Roman Catholic Church which can be seen through its many religious monuments like the Church of St. Joan of Arc, the late Gothic style Church of Saint-Maclou, and the Gothic style Cathedral Notre-Dame de Rouen that was built in 1880 by the Roman Catholics.

Best Time to Take a Seine River Cruise (France)

Summer is the most popular time for a Seine River cruise, though it also brings peak heat and the season when many French families take their own vacations. Some travelers enjoy the quieter, local-free feel despite the warmth, while others prefer the shoulder season, when cities feel livelier and locals are back.

With the recent surge in the popularity of European river cruises, competition between the main cruise operators has really improved the quality of the itineraries and river ships across the board, so there aren’t any bad options - it just depends on what you’re looking for on your Europe river cruise.
