| Day 3 | Conflans Ste Honorine | The village of Auvers-sur-Oise may seem familiar to those who know Van Gogh's work. He lived and died here, and in just 70 days, he painted the surrounding countryside and many of the local sites and people of this quaint little town. The Auberge Ravoux, the Church of Auvers-sur-Oise, the Wheat Fields, and countryside - all immortalized on canvas but also part of the everyday life in this quiet village along the River Oise. (Breakfast/ Lunch/ Captain's Welcome Dinner) Featured Excursion: Auvers-sur-Oise tour |
| Day 4 | Rouen | Our visit to Rouen will take you to the stunning gothic cathedral of Rouen, painted so vividly by Monet, the haunting medieval quarter with its half-timbered, glazed tiles houses, and the Gros Horloge, a Renaissance clock tower that arches overhead. The walk ends at Vieux Marche, where Joan of Arc was punished for her defiance.(Breakfast/ Lunch/ Dinner)Featured Excursion: Walking Tour of Rouen |
| Day 5 | Rouen | Spend the day at the location where one of the most famous days in recent world history took place-the beaches at Normandy-site of the D-Day Invasion by the Allied forces during World War II. The Invasion of Normandy holds the distinction of being history's largest amphibious combat operation. You'll visit the American Cemetery at Colleville, the allied landing sites at Omaha beach, the battlefield of Pointe du Hoc and Mulberry Harbor at Arromanches, all haunting reminders of freedom hard fought for. (Breakfast/ Lunch/ Dinner)Featured Excursion: Full-day tour to Normandy Beaches |
| Day 6 | Caudebec | Travel overland to Honfleur, a charming French harbor town favored by artists such as Gustave Courbet and Claude Monet. Go on a walking tour from the former smuggler's harbor of Vieux Bassin-the most often painted scene in Honfleur where the fishing village backdrop is seemingly unchanged from over 100 years ago-through the pedestrian streets to the medieval town center.(Breakfast/ Lunch/ Dinner)Featured Excursion: Visit to HonfleurIrresistible Optional Tour: Extend your Honfleur excursion with a visit to a family-owned country estate producing cider and Calvados brandy in Normandy's charming countryside |
| Day 7 | Vernon | Visit Monet's home in his beloved village of Giverny, where he lived for 43 years, until his death in 1926. You'll explore Monet's house, furnished as it was when the leader of the Impressionist school lived here, including his precious collection of Japanese engravings. Strolling the gardens, you'll see the familiar Japanese bridge and water garden shaded by weeping willows, with its pond still full of water lilies that so inspired this master's work.
