Seine Cruise - from Paris - 71271

Rouen has the fourth-largest seaport in France and lies between Paris and Le Havre. The old trading town is on the outer edge of an imposing bend in the Seine surrounded by steep slopes. It was in Rouen that Joan of Ark was burnt at the stake. Impressive restored half-timbered Norman buildings dominate the image of the city. There are lots of old castles and chateaus in the surrounding area that bring France's history back to life. Sights include: the old market, Jeanne d'Arc church, the impressive clock tower, the Gothic cathedral and the town hall.

The port of "Le Havre de Grace" was founded in 1517 by François I on the right bank of the Seine estuary. The seafront, the beach and the harbour basin reach right into the heart of the town. The town's image is shaped by the Seine estuary and the port. Le Havre is not only an important trading port, but also has a yacht marina and a beach. The alabaster coast with its tall chalk cliffs stretches north from Le Havre to the Somme estuary. Always connected with the sea, today Le Havre is the fifth-largest European port. Sights include: the port, the town hall, Villa Maritime, the swimming dock, St. Josef's Church, the garden at St. Roch, Malraux museum, and Notre Dame cathedral.
