Trip
Duration4h00
Classic

Depart on foot to explore the charming town of Caudebec-en-Caux and its historic center. You will be captivated by its picturesque streets, lined with half-timbered houses and quaint shops that evoke its medieval past. Be amazed by the Church of Notre-Dame, a masterpiece of flamboyant Gothic architecture from the 15th and 16th centuries. Miraculously preserved, it stands out for its exceptional stained-glass windows, which were removed for restoration in 1940 and thus saved from wartime destruction. Its spectacular rose window and exquisite sculptures make it a true gem of Normandy's heritage.

Continue your discovery at MuséoSeine, an interactive museum that will immerse you in the fascinating history of the river and the life that has flourished along its banks. Models, exhibitions, and captivating narratives will take you on a journey through time, exploring the Seine from various angles: its geology, economic role, and artistic influence. Many painters, including Monet and his contemporaries, captured its ever-changing landscapes, drawn by the unique light that bathes its shores. This immersive visit offers a blend of history and art, unfolding along the water’s edge.

Return on foot to the boat.
