AT 6:00 a.m. the morning of Day 4, we could feel the ship start moving. We would be arriving in Rouen at 1:00.
The morning of cruising down the river was a great respite from the busy days we had so far. It was also beautiful to see the French countryside and little villages that we passed by. Our Excursion choices for the day were varied:
Picturesque Honfleur on foot
Rouen Farm & Countryside
Jumieges Abbey & Country Bike Ride
Rouen Walking Tour
You also had the option of touring the town on your own if you wished
Although it was a bit pricey, we opted for the Abbey and bike tour.
This is a sample of what it is like to sail down the river and see the quaint villages as you go by. I loved every minute of it.
Frist, the Jumieges Abbey. The abbey was founded in 654 and was a Benedictine monastery. The ruins are beautiful.
Our guide on this day was not the greatest. She rushed us through, but we were all ready for our bike ride!!
