Anacoluthe Barge

The comfortable river cruiser ‘Anacoluthe’ begins its journey in les Andelys, magnificently set along the River Seine near the hilltop ruins of Château Gaillard. Then cruise to historic Rouen, capital of Lower Normandy, before taking in the glittering nighttime beauty of Paris, the “City of Light.” Claude Monet’s gardens at Giverny, Le Château de Malmaison, home of the notorious Josephine, and medieval Moret-sur-Loing round out this intriguing itinerary.
