Rouen

Rouen is the Capital of Haute Normandie, located between Paris and the English Channel. The town is very attractive as it boasts a large number of attractions and monuments. The Notre Dame Cathedral is without a doubt one of the most impressive in France. Its nave with eleven bays covered with a superb six-part vault and the lantern tower endow the edifice with a stunning sense of proportion.

Other not to miss attractions include the Old Rouen, historical city centre, the Gros-Horloge, square where Joan of Arc was burned at the stake, St Maclou and Saint-Ouen churches, Rouen Cathedral and if time permits try and visit the Rouen museum of Fine Art. We organise private guided walking tours in the town of Rouen with local certified guides that will reveal all the History and Architectural highlights of the town only for your small group.

Our half day or full day private day trips & shore excursions departing from Rouen are all conducted by expert local tour guides that speak impeccable English. Your guide will meet you at your ship and will go over the itinerary and program of the day with you. Then board your premium vehicle and begin to make your way on this private day tour.

Visit the D-DAY normandy landing beaches with one of our expert guides. On June 6, 1944, the allied troops landed on the Normandy beaches, marking the beginning of a fierce and deadly battle that would culminate in the liberation of France a few months later.
