Conclude the tour with a tasting of local cider and fresh crepes.
After lunch on board, take a walking tour of the medieval quarter of Rouen. View the Gothic Notre-Dame Cathedral that inspired Claude Monet to paint the cathedral series, and the famous Gros Horloge, a 16th century astronomical clock. Walk through the cobblestone streets lined with half-timbered storybook houses and view the courthouse, and the Market Square where Joan of Arc was martyred.
