Splendor of Attractions along Seine River - Paris and Normandy |
 |
 |
| The Seine remains an important waterway in the regions of the Île-de-France and Haute-Normandie in France. The 486 mile long river rises at Saint-Seine near Dijon at Langres plateau to flow through Paris into the English Channel at Le Havre. Ocean-going vessels navigate as far as Rouen, 75 miles from the sea. Up until as far as Burgundy the river is plied by commercial riverboats, but nearly all of its length is good for recreational boating. Excursion boats offer sightseeing tours of Rive Droite and Rive Gauche within city-limits in Paris. There are 37 bridges within the city and dozens more spanning the river outside. If you wish to experience the splendor of northern France's Normandy region then there is no finer way to do it than by cruising on Seine River. It’s a convenient way to discover the history, culture and beauty of the region, well known as the birthplace of Impressionism. Seine River cruises include Paris, the City of Lights. Paris attractions have you enjoying Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame, Arch de Triomphe and Louvre museum, housing Mona Lisa. Travelers see world famous architectural masterpieces and museums. Seine River cruises include excursions to farmhouse and gardens where Claude Monet worked in Giverny. Cruises stop in Les Andelys to see Richard the Lionheart's Chateau Gaillard and Nicholas Poussin museum. Many cruises sail to Le Havre, where you can join excursions to Normandy beaches. Some cruises are combined with journeys along Rhone and Saone Rivers in South of France to stop at ports like Avignon, Lyon and Macon. |
