Day 2
Rouen, France
Duclair, France
This morning, after cruising past villages and foliage-lined riverbanks, Rouen comes into view. Nicknamed the "city of a hundred spires", Normandy's historic capital enchants with bell towers, half-timbered houses, narrow cobbled lanes, and storied squares. On a locally guided walking tour, discover where medieval history and Gothic architecture reveal themselves at every turn - including the square where Joan of Arc was famously tried and martyred. When you see Cathedrale Notre-Dame de Rouen this morning, you may recognize it from one of Claude Monet's 30-plus paintings of France's tallest cathedral. Following your tour, enjoy a leisurely afternoon exploring the romantic historic center, free from summer's crowds and hushed in the crisp November air. This evening, an elegant Tauck-exclusive experience awaits with a private tour, live music, and dinner at the 16th-century Chateau du Taillis - a Renaissance treasure renowned for its manicured grounds. ...

Day 4
Vernon, France
Your final day in Normandy leads you to Vernon after a leisurely morning cruise through the warm colors of the Seine. At this time of year, mornings often bring mist rising from the river and flocks of ducks and geese resting along the banks as they migrate south. Today, tour Chateau de Bizy, a mid-18th-century royal palace often nicknamed "Little Norman Versailles", and once owned by relatives of King Louis XV and Napoleon. Step inside its elegant salons, parlors, and stables to glimpse aristocratic life in France. Spread across roughly 200 acres, its manicured lawns are adorned with statues and ornate fountains. Back onboard, Normandy's harvest season comes alive with a presentation on cider and calvados by a local farmer. From September through November, Norman farmers harvest more than 300,000 cider apples - making this the perfect time of year to savor it. Learn about the region's apple-rich culture and taste the soul of Normandy in a glass. Later, embark on a sunset cruise toward Paris and enjoy the Chef's Signature Dinner in Compass Rose this evening. ... Read More
Artists, writers, and lovers alike have flocked to Paris for centuries - drawn to this city of love, where charming cafes energize the streets, the Eiffel Tower sparkles on the Seine, and elegant buildings are jeweled with wrought-iron balconies. With fewer crowds and November's golden glow, Paris feels both timeless and intimately yours. Today, choose how you wish to explore: take a guided motorcoach tour around the City of Light, dressed in its autumn color palette, including a visit inside the opulent 19th-century opera house; or join a walking tour of Le Marais - a former marshland turned aristocratic haven - where cobblestone streets, stylish boutiques, and the graceful Place des Vosges, Paris's oldest square and once home to Victor Hugo, capture the city's timeless charm. This afternoon, explore one of many Parisian world-class museums, where its artistic soul comes vividly to life. Later, return to the riverboat for a farewell reception and dinner, followed by a French jazz performance by Cynthia Queenton. ... Read More
