DAY 1 | ARRIVE IN PARIS, FRANCE (EMBARKATION). Welcome to Paris, France’s capital on the Seine River, the “City of Light,”

where romance fills the air. This afternoon, board your river cruise vessel

and meet your crew at an evening welcome reception. Before dinner,

your ship glides out of Paris. (NOTE: Flights into Paris must arrive by 2:30

pm. Guests must be on board ship by 5 pm.) (D)

DAY 2 | PRAGUE VERNON–LES ANDELYS. This morning in

Vernon, choose between a guided visit of Giverny and a visit to Bizy

Castle. Claude Monet lived at GIVERNY for almost 43 years (1883-1926),

and viewed his flower and water gardens as works of art—just like his

paintings. See his collection of Japanese prints, his charming house, and

his biggest sources of inspiration. Or, visit BIZY CASTLE, built in 1740 and

nicknamed “Normandy’s Versailles.” It is known for its famous stables—

inspired by those at Versailles—and its magnificent courtyard and water

garden. This afternoon, arrive in Les Andelys, situated on a bend of

the Seine and one of the most beautiful places in France. Join a Local

Guide for a GUIDED WALK of the town, visiting the PARISH CHURCH OF

LE PETIT ANDELY. Imposing Château Gaillard, built by England’s King

Richard the Lionheart as a fortress in 1196, is seen above the town.

Constructed in only a year, it is a masterpiece of medieval military

architecture. (B,L,D)

DAY 3 | CAUDEBEC. Welcome Jann Arden and her musicians

as they join the cruise in the quaint city of Caudebec. Enjoy a guided

excursion along the “NORMANDY VILLAGES ROUTE” to see some of

Normandy’s charming half-timbered houses with their sloping thatched

roofs, often sporting blue wooden doors and window shutters, or along

the “NORMANDY ABBEYS ROUTE,” a short drive from Caudebec. More

than 100 abbeys once covered this region, which has a microclimate

suited to growing fruit such as apples, pears, plums, and cherries. The

afternoon is free to explore on your own or to join an optional excursion

to pretty coastal Honfleur. Join Jann for a CD signing session. (B,L,D)

DAY 4 | CAUDEBEC. Join Jann on a full-day excursion to the

historic NORMANDY LANDING BEACHES, where Jann will address the

group at this important place in Canadian history. You’ll visit poignant

sites, including Juno Beach, where 1,400 Canadian soldiers invaded

Nazi occupied France on June 6, 1944. Approximately 5,400 Canadian

soldiers died over the course of the Normandy campaign and are

buried in Normandy. Or, for an in-depth look at this picturesque,

mainly agricultural region, you may choose to experience a “TASTE OF

NORMANDY”. The most important products in this region are dairy, apples,

and grain. Camembert cheese is a specialty, as is CALVADOS, a strong apple

brandy you’ll have the chance to taste at a local distillery. And for a touch of

history, visit the famous BAYEUX TAPESTRY. (B,L,D )

DAY 5 | ROUEN. Rouen, capital of Upper Normandy, is an important

commercial city perhaps best known for its connection to Joan of Arc,

who lived, was imprisoned, and burned at the stake in the marketplace of

this town in 1431. Enjoy the included GUIDED WALK through the medieval

quarter with its half-timbered, glazed-tile houses, and take photos of

the intricate Gros Horloge astronomical clock, dating back to the 16th

century. Visit the gothic CATHEDRAL, which was once the tallest building

in the world and the subject of a series of paintings by Claude Monet. The

afternoon is free to explore on your own. At some point on this day, you

also enjoy a ‘photo op’ with Jann, either onboard or ashore. (B,L,D)

DAY 6 | CONFLANS. After breakfast you may either join our included

guided excursion to AUVERS-SUR-OISE, the quaint little town where Vincent

Van Gogh lived and died, or to Napoleon and Josephine’s CHÂTEAU DE

MALMAISON just outside Paris. Requiring extensive renovations, this

large country estate was purchased by Josephine Bonaparte in 1799

while Napoleon was fighting in Egypt. It was her aim to make it “the most

beautiful and curious garden in Europe, a model of good cultivation.”

Tonight, enjoy an intimate evening performance of Jann’s much-loved

music. (B,L,D)

DAY 7 | PARIS. Bid Jann and her musicians adieux as they disembark in

Paris – but you’ll have a full day to enjoy one of the world’s most romantic

and lively cities. Your included CITY SIGHTSEEING shows you magnificent

must-see sights, such as Notre Dame Cathedral, the unique Louvre

Museum with its glass pyramid as a contrast to its ancient architecture,

the commemorative Arc de Triomphe, and the Eiffel Tower. Alternatively,

you may wish to join a GUIDED WALK through historic Île St. Louis with

its narrow one-way streets and Île de la Cité, the center of Paris where the

medieval city was founded and home to NOTRE DAME CATHEDRAL. In your

free time, stroll down the Champs-Elysées with its lavish cafés, or perhaps

visit the world-famous Louvre or Montmartre with its gleaming white Sacré

Coeur Basilica and bevy of artists on Place du Tertre. Paris is also well known

for its colorful night life, and an optional outing to one of Paris’ famous

cabaret shows might make the perfect finale to your Seine cruise vacation.

(B,L,D)

DAY 8 | PARIS (DISEMBARKATION). Your vacation ends with

breakfast this morning. (B)
