Leaving the local area in the morning we travel to Hull for our overnight sailing.

Our ship arrives in Rotterdam/Zeebrugge in the morning, and from there we'll head to to Rouen, lovingly restored capital of Upper Normandy with its Gothic cathedral, famous mechanical clock and monument to Joan of Arc.

Explore the city's narrow, bustling streets with their past half- timbered houses before we continue to our hotel.

Travel along the Seine Valley to Giverney, once home to France's most famous artist. Monet's house, with its attractive pink facade, has been restored to its original beauty. Wander the garden paths, then reboard the coach to head to Paris.

In this, the incomparable, 'city of light' you'll be free to explore or join our optional sightseeing tour, which includes a river cruise on one of the famous 'Bateau Mouche'.

After breakfast we'll check out of our hotel and head to Fontainebleau.
