Barker Travel Crew

Overview


Cruise the heart of Normandy along the majestic Seine — through sacred battlegrounds, charming villages, and breathtaking French landscapes. With celebrity historian Dodie Cantrell-Bickley aboard and every booking supporting Middle Georgia Honor Flight, this voyage carries meaning at every mile.

Sail to the dramatic fortress of Château Gaillard, explore the medieval splendor of Rouen, and stroll the village of Caudebec after dinner. Choose between the hallowed D-Day beaches at Bayeux and Arromanches or a taste of Normandy through local cider and dairy farms. Visit picturesque Honfleur, Monet's legendary gardens at Giverny, and the charming streets of Vernon — before finishing in the magnificent City of Light, Paris.

Eight days. Sacred waters. A journey you will never forget.
