DAY 1 | ARRIVE IN PARIS, FRANCE (EMBARKATION). Welcome to Paris, France’s capital on the Seine River, the “City of Light,”
where romance fills the air. This afternoon, board your river cruise vessel
and meet your crew at an evening welcome reception. Before dinner,
your ship glides out of Paris. (NOTE: Flights into Paris must arrive by 2:30
pm. Guests must be on board ship by 5 pm.) (D)
DAY 2 | PRAGUE VERNON–LES ANDELYS. This morning in
Vernon, choose between a guided visit of Giverny and a visit to Bizy
Castle. Claude Monet lived at GIVERNY for almost 43 years (1883-1926),
and viewed his flower and water gardens as works of art—just like his
paintings. See his collection of Japanese prints, his charming house, and
his biggest sources of inspiration. Or, visit BIZY CASTLE, built in 1740 and
nicknamed “Normandy’s Versailles.” It is known for its famous stables—
inspired by those at Versailles—and its magnificent courtyard and water
garden. This afternoon, arrive in Les Andelys, situated on a bend of
the Seine and one of the most beautiful places in France. Join a Local
Guide for a GUIDED WALK of the town, visiting the PARISH CHURCH OF
LE PETIT ANDELY. Imposing Château Gaillard, built by England’s King
Richard the Lionheart as a fortress in 1196, is seen above the town.
Constructed in only a year, it is a masterpiece of medieval military
architecture. (B,L,D)
DAY 3 | CAUDEBEC. Welcome Jann Arden and her musicians
as they join the cruise in the quaint city of Caudebec. Enjoy a guided
excursion along the “NORMANDY VILLAGES ROUTE” to see some of
Normandy’s charming half-timbered houses with their sloping thatched
roofs, often sporting blue wooden doors and window shutters, or along
the “NORMANDY ABBEYS ROUTE,” a short drive from Caudebec. More
than 100 abbeys once covered this region, which has a microclimate
suited to growing fruit such as apples, pears, plums, and cherries. The
afternoon is free to explore on your own or to join an optional excursion
to pretty coastal Honfleur. Join Jann for a CD signing session. (B,L,D)
DAY 4 | CAUDEBEC. Join Jann on a full-day excursion to the
historic NORMANDY LANDING BEACHES, where Jann will address the
group at this important place in Canadian history. You’ll visit poignant
sites, including Juno Beach, where 1,400 Canadian soldiers invaded
Nazi occupied France on June 6, 1944. Approximately 5,400 Canadian
soldiers died over the course of the Normandy campaign and are
buried in Normandy. Or, for an in-depth look at this picturesque,
mainly agricultural region, you may choose to experience a “TASTE OF
NORMANDY”. The most important products in this region are dairy, apples,
and grain. Camembert cheese is a specialty, as is CALVADOS, a strong apple
brandy you’ll have the chance to taste at a local distillery. And for a touch of
history, visit the famous BAYEUX TAPESTRY. (B,L,D )
DAY 5 | ROUEN. Rouen, capital of Upper Normandy, is an important
commercial city perhaps best known for its connection to Joan of Arc,
who lived, was imprisoned, and burned at the stake in the marketplace of
this town in 1431. Enjoy the included GUIDED WALK through the medieval
quarter with its half-timbered, glazed-tile houses, and take photos of
the intricate Gros Horloge astronomical clock, dating back to the 16th
century. Visit the gothic CATHEDRAL, which was once the tallest building
in the world and the subject of a series of paintings by Claude Monet. The
afternoon is free to explore on your own. At some point on this day, you
also enjoy a ‘photo op’ with Jann, either onboard or ashore. (B,L,D)
DAY 6 | CONFLANS. After breakfast you may either join our included
guided excursion to AUVERS-SUR-OISE, the quaint little town where Vincent
Van Gogh lived and died, or to Napoleon and Josephine’s CHÂTEAU DE
MALMAISON just outside Paris. Requiring extensive renovations, this
large country estate was purchased by Josephine Bonaparte in 1799
while Napoleon was fighting in Egypt. It was her aim to make it “the most
beautiful and curious garden in Europe, a model of good cultivation.”
Tonight, enjoy an intimate evening performance of Jann’s much-loved
music. (B,L,D)
DAY 7 | PARIS. Bid Jann and her musicians adieux as they disembark in
Paris – but you’ll have a full day to enjoy one of the world’s most romantic
and lively cities. Your included CITY SIGHTSEEING shows you magnificent
must-see sights, such as Notre Dame Cathedral, the unique Louvre
Museum with its glass pyramid as a contrast to its ancient architecture,
the commemorative Arc de Triomphe, and the Eiffel Tower. Alternatively,
you may wish to join a GUIDED WALK through historic Île St. Louis with
its narrow one-way streets and Île de la Cité, the center of Paris where the
medieval city was founded and home to NOTRE DAME CATHEDRAL. In your
free time, stroll down the Champs-Elysées with its lavish cafés, or perhaps
visit the world-famous Louvre or Montmartre with its gleaming white Sacré
Coeur Basilica and bevy of artists on Place du Tertre. Paris is also well known
for its colorful night life, and an optional outing to one of Paris’ famous
cabaret shows might make the perfect finale to your Seine cruise vacation.
(B,L,D)
DAY 8 | PARIS (DISEMBARKATION). Your vacation ends with
breakfast this morning. (B)
