About This Trip

Get a taste of the more opulent side of France on this stunning river cruise down the Seine and Oise rivers. Starting in the heart of France, the remarkable city of Paris, you will get time to explore its cosmopolitan streets, its chic boutiques and mouth-watering restaurants. You can sit at a café under the Eiffel Tower, drink a Sidecar or French 75 in a local bar in the Latin Quarter and watch the citizens of this great city effortlessly flow past. There is so much to do, and so many landmarks in Paris, but many of your favourite memories will be simply from being there, seeing strangers kiss in the rain, finding old stores, replete with vintage beauty or perusing window displays of multi-coloured macarons. 

 

Then, from Paris, things only get more beautiful. The word of this trip is opulence, both in what you will encounter, but also in your mode of transport. The MV Raymonde is a cocoon of charm, a boutique river barge which only holds 22 guests. With personalised service, decadent interiors, a stunning restaurant, lounge bar and even an outdoor jacuzzi so you can watch the scenery drift by surrounded by bubbles, and likely with a glass of bubbles in your hand. The scenery you will be watching is simply stunning. 

 

Here, nestled on the banks of the river are some of the most delectable châteaux in France, you will stop to pay in-depth visits to the best of them. Château de Malmaison, echoing grandeur and once home to Napoleon himself, the exquisite Château Chantilly, often spoken of as the most beautiful château in France invites you in to gaze upon their decadent beauty. Immerse yourself in the artistic legacy at the Pizarro Museum and walk in the footsteps of Vincent van Gogh in the picturesque village of Auvers-sur-Oise. These visits are not just excursions but a deep dive into the heart of French culture and history.

 

This cruise is more than a holiday; it's a journey into the soul of France, promising memories that will captivate and enchant you for years to come.
