Local departure by coach, then to Honfleur, where we board our cruise ship for four nights.
We begin our tour at the Vieux Bassin, one of the most charming sites in the city. The narrow houses squeezed against each other are quite a unique sight. Next, we will see Saint Catherine’s Church, the largest wooden church in France. We will then head for the original 17th-century Salt Halls (Greniers à Sel), now used for exhibitions, conferences and concerts. Our tour will finish with a visit to Saint Léonard Church. Destroyed during the Hundred Years War, it was rebuilt at the end of the 15th and beginning of the 16th centuries, only to be partially burned down again during the Wars of Religion.
This afternoon, join our included excursion, as we discover the Côte Fleurie and taste some Calvados, the famous apple brandy. First stop is Deauville, the glamorous Normandy resort, and a symbol of elegance, prestige and sophistication. Enjoy a stroll along the famous floorboards that were built in 1923 along the beach, allowing women to enjoy the seaside without spoiling their dresses.
Included Highlights
Notre-Dame Cathedral is renowned for the juxtaposition of all the Gothic periods - especially on the façade, which Monet painted time and again, reflecting its glory in different lights. Destroyed during the Viking invasions in 841 and, partially, in 1944, by allied bombardments, the cathedral continues to be a perpetually evolving structure.
We will then head to the market place where Joan of Arc was burned alive for heresy in 1431. The Gros-Horloge, or Great Clock, is one of the most emblematic monuments in the city. The Gothic belfry has housed the communal bells and clock of the city since its construction at the end of the 14th century.
Finally, we will visit the Saint Joan of Arc Church. Located on the Old Market Place, this large monument’s construction ended in 1979 and was built both in honour of the Saint. We'll return on board in the evening. Our ship will cruise through the night.
