About the trip

This seven-night cruise on MS Jane Austen unfolds along the Seine, beginning and ending in Paris. After settling into your comfortable cabin, take time to appreciate the city's grand monuments or join a walking tour through its oldest districts.

The river winds through Normandy's lush pastures and pale chalk cliffs, bringing you to Les Andelys with its ruined Château Gaillard, built by Richard the Lionheart. Further on, Rouen reveals a Gothic cathedral once the world’s tallest, its façade captured repeatedly by Monet. The tour includes visits to Bayeux and choices between D-Day landing beaches tied to British or American assaults, or a Taste of Normandy featuring local cheese and cider dairies.

Further downstream, Honfleur's harbour with its snug pastel houses hints at a painterly past, while a stroll through Monet’s garden in Giverny provides insight into the artist’s inspiration. Evenings on board offer jazz or accordion performances, a relaxed counterpoint to the packed days ashore.
