Seine-Eure is the perfect place to enjoy a relaxing and invigorating cruise along the meandering Seine. Over the course of a few hours’ cruising, you’ll skirt the banks of the Seine and pass through landscapes worthy of Impressionist masterpieces.
This river escapade allows you to appreciate the breathtaking views over the valley, letting yourself be lulled by the lapping of the water and the ambient tranquillity. Nature, calm and pleasure guaranteed!
So loved by the illustrious painters Eugène Boudin, Claude Monet, Caillebotte, Seurat and Manet, the changing lights and pearly reflections of the banks of this mythical river were a major source of inspiration for the Impressionist movement.
For a 2-hour excursion between Poses and Vernon, come aboard the restaurant boat Guillaume le Conquérant to discover the Route des Moulins de la Seine. Choose from a walking cruise (2h return from Poses to St Pierre du Vauvray), a lunch cruise (4h return between Poses and Muids) or the excursion cruise (6h return between Poses and Les Andelys – breakfast and lunch included). Alternatively, enjoy a day’s cruising between Vernon and Poses as a couple, with friends or with the family, for a special, convivial experience. What a pleasure to savour elegant, refined traditional French cuisine as you travel through these sumptuous Impressionist landscapes!
For a more intimate private cruise of 1 to 3 hours, choose to embark on a discovery tour of Seine-Eure, its river heritage and its celebrities aboard a motorboat for up to 6 people. During this guided cruise, you can take a number of different routes along the river, including the Ile du Port and the islands of Lormais, the Moulin d’Andé, the Arm and Mill of Connelles and the Ile de Tournedos.
A completely free escapade that plunges you into the heart of the wild and unusual nature of the cradle of Impressionism.
