Highlights:
- Arrive in the heart of Rouen and Bordeaux and explore straight away
- Taste delicious camembert, tarte Normande and Bordeaux wine
- Explore the iconic sights of Paris on a tour from Rouen
The benefits of Balmoral’s smaller size come to the fore on this sailing as we dock in Rouen and Bordeaux, both inaccessible to larger ships. You’ll also be able to admire the views as we glide along the scenic River Seine, flanked by picturesque countryside and quaint villages. You can experience French culinary excellence by sampling camembert and tarte Normande, embracing Parisian café culture and wine-tasting at Bordeaux’s acclaimed vineyards. Strolling Honfleur’s cobbled streets lined by half-timbered buildings makes it easy to see why the town has inspired so many artists, most notably Boudin and Monet, whilst Paris (reached from Rouen), boasts architectural wonders like the Arc de Triomphe and Eiffel Tower.
