Awake this morning in Le Havre. After breakfast, enjoy a guided tour to Honfleur - a seafaring and artistic town. A site first occupied by the Vikings in the 9th century, it became known as the land of the Northmen or Normandy.

This morning you are at leisure in Vernon, enjoy a leisurely breakfast before exploring this historical town situated on the Seine. The old streets of Vernon are straight out of the middle ages, half timbered houses with ancient doors, cobble stone streets and wrought iron shop signs. The Old Mill still lies straddling two piers of the ancient bridge over the Seine and is certainly an interesting structure to view.
