Paris

Paris is still probably the greatest place of longing for travelers from all over the world. And quite rightly so, as no other city in the world is such an epitome of love, seduction, art, culture and cuisine. Paris is the city for the finer things in life. This begins with the beauty of the French capital. The best way to experience it is from the panoramic terraces of the Eiffel Tower or the Montmartre hill. The city on the Seine offers so many beautiful perspectives that you won't be able to decide which way to point your camera first. But even up close, the beauty of the city's sights is hard to beat. The ornate Notre-Dame Cathedral; the mighty Arc de Triomphe; the sprawling Louvre; the magnificent Jardin des Tuileries; the magnificent Opéra Garnier and the impressive Place de la Concorde are just the tip of the iceberg of sights you can marvel at in Paris.

Conflans

Conflans-Sainte-Honorine is a charming town in the Île-de-France region, around 25 kilometers northwest of Paris. It is picturesquely situated at the mouth of the Oise into the Seine and is a popular stopover for river cruises. The city has a rich history dating back to the Middle Ages and is known for its traditions in inland navigation and is also an ideal starting point for excursions to one of the most famous castles in the world: the Palace of Versailles.

Rouen

The city of Rouen is the historic capital of Normandy and is best known for Joan of Arc. In the museum "Joan of Arc" you can find an insight into her life and her tragic death in Rouen. Also worth seeing are the botanical garden, the cathedral "Notre Dame" and the monastery "Saint-Georges de Boscherville". Very popular is also a visit to the clock tower in the charming downtown area of the town.

Caudebec-en-Caux

The idyllically situated village of Caudebec-en-Caux has some historically interesting buildings to offer, such as the 12th century house of the Knights Templar and is characterized by a very charming atmosphere. The church of the town with its very artistic stained glass windows is also a worthwhile destination, which impresses with its extraordinary architecture and should definitely be visited during a visit to Caudebec. Outside the city, a huge aircraft monument commemorates the flying boat Latham 47.

Le Havre

With more than 170.000 inhabitants, Le Havre is the busiest city in Normandy. Located directly on the English Channel, the metropolis is located in the northwest of France. Thanks to the work of the architect Auguste Perret, the city center was created due to its uniquegen architecture designated by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. In the heart of the city is located with the Church of St.-Joseph An imposing structure with several thousand incorporated glass blocks. Impressive is also the city hall of Le Havre with a more than 70 meters high tower. In all of Europe there is no larger town hall square than in this French city.

Vernon

Midway between Paris and Rouen lies Vernon. Unnumerous half-timbered houses characterize the townscape. The most famous shows up during a walk across the Pont Clémenceau: the Old mill, gracefully perched on the remains of a medieval bridge. Already Claude Monet was so fascinated by Vernon's sight that he banned him on canvas. But that's not all: For more than 40 years, the artist lived nearby in a house, which he surrounded with a magnificent garden. What Monet once inspired world-famous works, is today a paradise for flower lovers and recreationists
