Our adventure began in the heart of Paris, where the iconic Eiffel Tower greeted us with its dazzling lights. From there, we set sail on the Seine River, with the promise of exploring the storied landscapes of Normandy.
 

The first few days were a whirlwind of exploration. Guided by experts in art and history, we wandered through the streets of Paris, marvelling at treasures like the Louvre and the Arc de Triomphe. Seeing the Mona Lisa up close and standing in awe of Notre Dame Cathedral were moments I'll never forget.



Cycling through the quaint town of Giverny, I found myself lost in the beauty of Monet's Garden, each brushstroke a testament to the artist's vision. In Rouen, the echoes of the past were palpable. Walking through the historic streets where Joan of Arc once stood, I couldn't help but feel a sense of reverence for the courage she displayed in the face of adversity at the age of 17.



A drive to Bayeux, where you can admire the magnificent tapestry that chronicles events leading to the decisive Battle of Hastings in 1066 then continue onto Juno Beach which was a humbling experience. Standing on the same shores where so many brave soldiers had fought and died, I felt a profound sense of gratitude for their sacrifice.



As we made our way through charming towns like Les Andelys, with its picturesque ruins overlooking the river, and ventured to the outskirts of Paris to explore Versailles and Napolean's Chateau de Malmaison, I found myself utterly captivated by the rich tapestry of French history.

After thoroughly enjoying myself, I highly recommend a river cruise through Paris and Normandy, where you too can discover the living, breathing history on offer.
