Before visiting the beaches of

Bayeux, where you can appreciate
the Medieval depiction of the
Battle of Hastings on a tapestry
dating from the 11th century.

defiance

After crossing the majestic
Normandy Bridge spanning
the river delta, travel overland
to Honfleur. You’ll be taken
on a guided walking tour from
the former smuggler’s harbor
of Vieux Bassin—the most
frequently painted scene in
Honfleur, where the fishing
village backdrop is seemingly
unchanged from over 500 years
ago—through
the pedestrian
streets to St.
Catherine’s
Church.
Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner Included |
| Day 7 Vernon (Giverny): |
|
Visit Monet’s home in his beloved village of Giverny, where he lived for 43 years, until his death in 1926. You’ll explore Monet’s house, furnished as it was when the leader of the Impressionist school lived here, including his precious collection of Japanese engravings. Strolling the gardens, you’ll see the familiar Japanese bridge and water garden shaded by weeping willows, with its pond still full of water lilies that so inspired this master’s work. Note: Giverny will be closed
during early March and November
departures. A visit to Versailles
Palace will be substituted instead.
Breakfast, Lunch and Captain's Farewell Dinner Included |

Champs-Élysées and past the
Arc de Triomphe. You’ll stop

Place Vendôme, Hôtel de Ville,
Notre Dame Cathedral, and the
Latin Quarter. Then it’s on to Les
Invalides, the Louvre courtyard,
and the Luxembourg Gardens,
where you will see a slice of daily
Parisian life—gentleman playing
boules and children sailing boats on the glassy pond—as well as view
Bartholdi’s model for the Statue of
Liberty.
