This morning we tour the seaside city of Honfleur.  Honfleur, the cradle of Impressionism, is located at the mouth of the Seine as it flows into the English Channel. Untouched by the passage of time, this small port has kept the landmarks of its rich past, making it today one of the most visited towns in France.

Later, we travel to Rouen where a local guide joins us for a walk in the city's historic core and the magnificent Notre-Dame Cathedral. As the heart of Normandy's cultural, historical, and gastronomic scene, Rouen sits gracefully along the Seine. The cathedral, a masterpiece showcasing the entirety of Gothic architecture and famously captured by Monet, has survived Viking raids and WWII bombings, standing as a testament to resilience and beauty. Our journey continues to the market square, the tragic site of Joan of Arc's execution in 1431. We'll also admire the Gros-Horloge, the iconic city clock in its Gothic belfry since the late 14th century, before visiting the modern Saint Joan of Arc Church, a tribute to both the saint and the national heroine, located on the Old Market Place. The church, completed in 1979, marks our final stop before we return to our ship in the late afternoon.
