  1. Days 1–11

    Paris City, France

    Paris rewards travellers who look beyond its familiar landmarks. Follow the Seine past the Louvre and Notre-Dame; explore streets where cafés, markets and small museums reveal daily life. The Eiffel Tower still commands the skyline, but the best hours are spent walking, with time for lunch. Choose one or two neighbourhoods rather than racing across town; Paris is best experienced at street level.

  2. Day 11

    Chateau de La Roche-Guyon, France

    At La Roche-Guyon, the Seine curves beneath a chalk cliff crowned by a medieval keep. Below it, the château’s elegant residence and formal gardens tell a different story of power and taste. A stairway cut through the rock climbs to the fortress, where views sweep across the river valley and village rooftops. Discover a rare pairing of medieval stronghold and Renaissance château in one of France’s officially designated Most Beautiful Villages.

  3. Day 12

    Honfleur, France

    Honfleur’s old harbour is one of Normandy’s most distinctive waterfronts, framed by narrow, slate-fronted houses. Walk its quays, then step into Sainte-Catherine, France’s largest wooden church, built by local shipwrights. Art belongs here: painter Eugène Boudin was born in Honfleur, and its light helped inspire the Impressionists. Beside the Seine estuary, this compact port invites an unhurried visit, with excellent seafood and Normandy’s rich local produce.

  4. Day 14

    Rives-en-Seine, France

    Caudebec-en-Caux, now part of Rives-en-Seine, sits on a bend of the Seine in Normandy. Begin at Notre-Dame, where a finely carved Gothic façade and Renaissance stained glass reward a closer look. The Musée de la Marine de Seine traces the river’s working life and the communities shaped by its trade. Nearby, explore the evocative ruins of Jumièges Abbey, one of Normandy’s great medieval sites.

  5. Day 14

    Rouen, France

    Rouen rewards travelers who leave the ship and walk straight into its history. Half-timbered houses line narrow streets, while the soaring cathedral once drew Claude Monet back to paint its changing façade. At the old marketplace, Joan of Arc was executed in 1431; today, a church commemorates her. Pause for Normandy’s butter-rich cuisine, then follow the Seine-side quays for a quieter view of this working port.

  6. Day 15

    Les Andelys, France

    Les Andelys rewards a pause on the Seine, where white chalk cliffs rise above two historic quarters. Above Le Petit-Andely, Richard the Lionheart’s Château Gaillard has watched the valley since the late 12th century. Climb to its ruins for sweeping views, then descend to the riverside lanes and the Gothic church of Notre-Dame. This is Normandy at an unhurried scale: dramatic landscape, medieval ambition and room to explore.

  7. Day 16

    Paris City, France

    Paris rewards travellers who look beyond its familiar landmarks. Follow the Seine past the Louvre and Notre-Dame; explore streets where cafés, markets and small museums reveal daily life. The Eiffel Tower still commands the skyline, but the best hours are spent walking, with time for lunch. Choose one or two neighbourhoods rather than racing across town; Paris is best experienced at street level.
