Northern France offers a wealth of experiences for art and history lovers. Artists throughout the centuries have found inspiration in these regions, from the suburbs of Paris to the fishing villages of Normandy. You’ll see many favorite Impressionist works “come to life” as you visit Giverny, Honfleur and Auvers-sur-Oise. Then imagine walking the beaches where the Allied forces landed during World War II’s D-Day invasion—a day crucial to victory; seeing the site where Joan of Arc was martyred, or visiting Versailles, the cradle of the French Revolution. And did we mention Paris, the grand “City of Lights.” This is one unforgettable, all-inspiring journey that you won’t want to miss.
Who will enjoy this cruise: Art lovers will thrill at visiting villages and homes of the Impressionists, so inspirational and often represented in their works. Students of history will be awestruck by the D-Day memorial sites, the palace where Marie Antoinette riled the French Revolutionaries, and the site of Joan of Arc’s martyrdom.
