1st Day: PARIS Settling into your cabin between 18h and 19h. The crew will be introduced to you during the welcome cocktail. You will then take your place in the restaurant for your first dinner on board. During this time, the boat will weigh anchor for a voyage on the Seine (depending on the water level), passing the most marvellous sights of Paris by night. We will be passing by the Eiffel Tower, the Grand Palais, the Orangerie, the Louvre and Notre-Dame Cathedral which dominates the Ile de la Cite. Overnight stopover.
2nd Day: PARIS - VERNON Departure of the cruise early in the morning. Breakfast on board. Past the futuristic La Defense district which will impress you with its concrete and glass architecture. Lunch. Stop in Conflans-Sainte-Honorine. Departure by coach for the optional tour of the Chateau of Versailles (except Mondays, when the château is closed), which is among the most famous and prestigious monuments of world heritage and constitutes the most beautiful and most complete work of French art of the 18th century - on Mondays, optional tour of the chateau of Auvers-sur-Oise. Back on board around 18h30 in Mantes la Jolie and continuation of the cruise for Vernon. Dinner on board. Overnight stopover.
3rd Day: VERNON - ROUEN - CAUDEBEC-EN-CAUX Departure of the boat early in the morning. Breakfast during the cruise. In the morning, we will pass Andelys and Amfreville where we will go through the last lock. After this lock, we will be subject to the laws of the tides. Lunch during the cruise. Arrival in Rouen around 13h30. Optional tour on which you will discover, among other things, the Cathedral, the historic neighbourhoods, and the Place du Vieux Marche where Joan of Arc was burnt at the stake. Back on board and continuation of the cruise to Caudebec-en-Caux. Arrival in the evening, intermediate stop to take a pilot from Seine-Maritime on board and continuation of the cruise, depending on the tides, for Honfleur. Dinner and gala evening.
4th Day: CAUDEBEC-EN-CAUX - HONFLEUR Today, our last port of call (entry into the port depending on the tides), the boat will dock in the port of Honfleur. This wonderful town is situated at the mouth of the Seine where it reaches the English Channel. You will set out on an optional excursion through the old port quarter which has barely changed in appearance since the 17th century. At the time, land neighbouring the wharf was very sought after and this is why only small plots of land were given out on which slate-roofed houses were constructed, sometimes as high as 7 floors. Behind these buildings is St Catherine's church. Built in the 15th century by the town's marine carpenters, this church resembles an imperial warship. Lunch on board and optional departure by coach for the very fashionable seaside resort of Deauville situated on the part of the coast called the "Cote Fleurie". During the second half of the 19th century, this town became the favourite haunt of Parisian nobility and later of film stars from around the world. Its attractions are the luxury hotels overlooking the beach, the casino, the marina, the race course and its beach huts with their retro charm. After dinner on board, don't miss your last chance to wander around the port of Honfleur by night. Overnight stopover.
5th Day: HONFLEUR After breakfast, last look at your floating hotel. Disembarkation. End of our journey.
