Vernon was the last stop of our river cruise with A-ROSA before we went back to the starting point to the metropolis Of Paris. The small town is picturesquely located in the valley of the Seine, halfway between Rouen and Paris. In addition to visiting an imposing collegiate church and beautiful half-timbered houses in Vernon, we were following in the footsteps of a famous artist in the neighbouring village of Giverny.

After we had time this morning to explore the small town of Caudebec-en-Caux on our own, in the afternoon we took part in the 6-hour excursion “Along the Cote Fleuri to Honfleur, Deauville and to a Calvados distillery” via the A-ROSA excursion program, which is offered in the excursion program for 79 EUR per person.

The 2nd day of our river cruise with A-ROSA on the Seine took us further upstream to the small town of Caudebec-en-Caux, which is also the westernmost pier of the A-ROSA on the Seine. From here to the mouth of the Atlantic, it is only about 50 kilometres. Caudebec-en-Caux is a relatively small town with about 2,300 inhabitants. As with many communities in Normandy, the name derives from the Old Scandinavian language: Caldebec means ‘cold bach’.

After a quiet ride along the Seine, our first port on our river cruise with A-ROSA was the small town of Les Andelys, which is 85 kilometers northwest of Paris and 35 kilometers southeast of Rouen.
