Daily Itinerary

1. Day 1

   Paris

   France

   

   Paris rewards every arrival as though it were the first — the sweep of the Seine, the Gothic tracery of Notre-Dame rising again from its 2019 ashes, the Eiffel Tower somehow managing to astonish at each encounter, the Louvre's glass pyramid reflecting clouds in the courtyard of a palace that served French kings for four centuries. Beyond the monuments, Paris is a city of neighbourhoods: the Belle Époque brasseries of Montparnasse, the covered passages of the 2nd arrondissement, the rooftop terraces of Le Marais. The Luxembourg Gardens in April, or a late-September evening on the Canal Saint-Martin, are among the most civilised experiences in the world.

3. Day 3

   Poissy

   Arrive 07:00Depart 14:00

   France

   

   Poissy is a historic Seine-side town where Saint Louis was baptized and Le Corbusier built the modernist masterpiece Villa Savoye, just twenty-five kilometers from Paris. Must-dos include visiting the medieval Collegiate Church, touring Villa Savoye, and dining at a riverside guinguette. Spring and autumn offer the finest light along the Seine, and the town serves as an ideal base for excursions to Versailles, Giverny, and Auvers-sur-Oise.

5. Day 4

   Vernon

   Depart 11:00

   France

   

   Vernon is a quietly beguiling Norman town on the Seine whose greatest treasure lies just four kilometers beyond its medieval bridge: the garden and water lily ponds at Giverny, where Claude Monet lived and painted for forty-three years, creating the luminous imagery that changed the course of modern art. The town itself retains considerable charm — a romanticly ruined twelfth-century bridge tower draped in ivy, half-timbered houses along the riverbank, and a fine museum housing several original Monet canvases. Monet's garden is open from April through October, reaching its peak splendor in May and June when his beloved water lilies are in full, painterly bloom.

6. Day 4

   Rouen

   Arrive 18:00

   France

   

   Rouen, the medieval capital of Normandy set in a wooded meander of the Seine, rewards slow exploration with one of France's richest concentrations of Gothic architecture. The vast cathedral — immortalised by Monet in his celebrated series of canvases — dominates a city where half-timbered lanes wind between Renaissance mansions and the square where Joan of Arc was burned in 1431. The covered market overflows with Normandy's great dairy bounty: camembert, livarot, and pont-l'évêque alongside cider and calvados. Paris lies just ninety minutes south by train. Spring and early autumn offer the most atmospheric conditions.
