While on tour, you&#8217;ll learn that the painter Claude Monet spent time here painting the many moods of the Rouen Cathedral at different times of the day and year. It was also in Rouen where \u00a0Joan of Arc was martyred. Other attractions include the Medieval Quarter and Great Clock and Bonnemare Castle, a 16th-century architectural treasure lined with picturesque poplar trees.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0cafeb4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"0cafeb4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>Excursions include:<\/strong><\/p><ul><li>Medieval Rouen walking tour<\/li><li>Rouen bike tour<\/li><li>Tastes of Normandy<\/li><li>Bonnemare Castle Visit<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-70f35ee elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"70f35ee\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" src=\"https:\/\/rivercruiseadvisor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/raph-grizzle-seine-6-1280x720.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-29936\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rivercruiseadvisor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/raph-grizzle-seine-6-1280x720.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/rivercruiseadvisor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/raph-grizzle-seine-6-280x158.jpg 280w, https:\/\/rivercruiseadvisor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/raph-grizzle-seine-6-640x360.jpg 640w, https:\/\/rivercruiseadvisor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/raph-grizzle-seine-6-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/rivercruiseadvisor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/raph-grizzle-seine-6-1320x743.jpg 1320w, https:\/\/rivercruiseadvisor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/raph-grizzle-seine-6.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">AmaLyra docked in Rouen. \u00a9 Ralph Grizzle<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ae06675 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"ae06675\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>Day 6.

The prolific artists created more than 70 works here. Another option will be to visit the Ch\u00e2teau Malmaison along with its museum and gardens. Or we can stay in Paris to explore the &#8220;City of Light\u201d on a guided bike tour. Later, experience the \u201cCity of Light\u201d from a unique perspective when we board a modern river boat at the Port de la Bourdonnais, located on the banks of the Seine River near the Eiffel Tower. With exterior seating and viewing platforms, our one-hour cruise will take us underneath Paris\u2019s ornate bridges. From the boat, we will take in panoramic views of the city\u2019s iconic buildings and monuments, including the Musee d\u2019Orsay and the Notre Dame Cathedral.
