The bucket-list things to do — and who runs each one.
Here’s the bucket list for your day ashore: the most extraordinary thing to do at each stop, who runs it, and how to book it direct — so you can weigh it against your ship’s excursion and pick what suits you.
Scale the limestone bluffs above Petit-Andely to walk the ramparts of Richard the Lionheart's 12th-century fortress. A private expert guide unlocks the military genius behind the walls — and the sweep of the Seine below is simply breathtaking.
Step inside the legendary garden that inspired Monet's Water Lilies series — just 25 km from Les Andelys. A private art-historian guide escorts you through the Japanese bridge, the iris-lined Grande Allée, and the painter's colour-drenched house.
Rouen's soaring Gothic cathedral — immortalised by Monet in 30 canvases — and its medieval half-timbered streets form one of France's greatest urban set-pieces, just 40 km from Les Andelys. A private guide brings it spectacularly to life.
Grand-Andely's magnificent 12th–17th-century collegiate church shelters a rare Poussin painting, stunning rose windows, and Renaissance stonework rarely seen by tourists. Paired with the dedicated Nicolas Poussin Museum next door, it's a profound immersion in Normandy's art legacy.
Paddle the Seine beneath the dramatic white chalk cliffs and view Château Gaillard from the river — the same perspective that besieging armies and medieval traders once had. A small-group guided kayak is the most cinematic way to experience Les Andelys.
Spend a leisurely morning at the Grand-Andely weekly market selecting Normandy cheeses, cider, and artisan produce with a local food guide, then sit down to a private table d'hôte lunch at a recommended Norman farmhouse restaurant just outside town.
You know what to do on the day. Here is the trip it belongs to — each one opens as a whole plan, not a list: where to fly in, every port, what it runs.
