VIVA BEYOND, 7 Night A Journey from Impressionism to Modernism ex Paris, France Return

The journey begins in Paris, the eternal city of art. Embark along the Seine, surrounded by landmarks such as the Louvre, the Musée d’Orsay, and the Eiffel Tower. Paris breathes centuries of artistic creation, from Gothic cathedrals to Impressionism and contemporary art.

In Vernon, the gateway to Giverny, travelers discover Monet’s world. His house and gardens, with the lily pond and Japanese bridge, are the living essence of Impressionism.

Le Havre, immortalized by Monet, presents bold modernity. Rebuilt by Auguste Perret after WWII, its architecture is UNESCO-listed. The MuMa Museum holds one of France’s richest Impressionist collections outside Paris.

Rouen enchants with its cathedral, painted in Monet’s famous series. The Musée des Beaux-Arts and the old town with half-timbered houses add to the city’s charm.

In Conflans, artists once found inspiration along the riverbanks. Pissarro and others captured the atmosphere; today galleries and studios keep the tradition alive.

Back in Paris, the cruise ends, but the impressions remain – a voyage through the living heritage of French art.
