DAY 2 – July 27, 2026

After breakfast and check out, meet your guide and drive to the Louvre Museum and marvel at this former royal palace. Today, it’s perhaps the greatest repository of fine art in the world.

An experienced museum guide will offer highlights of its vast collection, including the Venus de Milo, the Winged Victory, Leonardo de Vinci's immortal Mona Lisa, and other paintings by such master’s as Delacroix and Gericault. After this visit, appreciate some free time to browse in the museum shop before departing for lunch.

Enjoy some free time for lunch on your own in one of the nearby cafes.

After lunch, drive to Rouen and discover its architecture from Roman times. The alignment of its two main streets – Rue du Gros Horloge and Rue des Carmes, still reflects the layout of the early city.

Follow your guide through the historical part of the city. See the Old Marketplace where Joan of Arc was burned at the stake in 1431 and the modern Joan of Arc Church completed in 1979. Other sites you will find during your walking tour are the Gros Horloge Street with its belfry and a sculpted archway on which rests a Renaissance lodge decorated with clock faces that still indicate the time of the day, the phases of the moon and the days of the week. Discover the Law Courts, the seat of Normandy’s Parliament and the cathedral, made famous by Claude Monet’s paintings of its façade.

Following this whirlwind tour to Paris and Rouen, drive back to the port of Le Havre where you will re-board the ship.
