have generations of painters like Nicolas Poussin – as you’ll view from below. Ramble in the classic French village, with its medieval lanes, colorful houses and gardens; visit a ciderhouse (another Tauck Exclusive) to learn how the many variations of Norman apple cider – and Calvados, an apple brandy renowned in this region – are made... and of course enjoy a tasting of both. Return to the ship for lunch and sail for Paris. Tonight, join us for a farewell reception followed by dinner. Meals BLD


12. DISEMBARK / UNDER THE CHANNEL Depart the ship in Paris this morning and board the high-speed Eurostar train that will whisk you to England by way of the tunnel under the Channel. Arrive this afternoon in London, where you’ll stay two nights at The Savoy hotel on the Thames, a luxury landmark since 1889; as the hotel boasts, “you’ll follow in the footsteps of Sir Winston Churchill, Frank Sinatra, Claude Monet and Katharine Hepburn at this iconic hotel reinvented for the 21st century where an unashamedly old fashioned glamour sparkles with a new lustre.” Dine on your own this evening in a city where virtually every cuisine in the world is well represented! Meals B


13. LONDON REVEALED You’ll get a good introduction to some of the major sights, after which you’ll have free time to explore on your own. What to do? Your hotel’s central location puts you in easy reach of all the landmarks of this legendary city, including the Tower Bridge, the Tower of London, the British Museum, Westminster Abbey, Buckingham Palace, and Trafalgar Square... and if you want to see it all in one go, you might consider a ride on the London Eye, the giant ferris wheel (or as they call it in London, “cantilevered observation wheel”) where spectacular 360-degree views afford you an opportunity to see everything as far as Windsor Castle if the weather is right. Join us for a Tauck Exclusive at our special farewell reception and dinner this evening – a presentation by author and television presenter Celia Sandys, granddaughter of Sir Winston Churchill.

14. JOURNEY HOME Tour ends: London. Fly home anytime. Transfer is included from The Savoy to Heathrow Airport. You should allow three hours for your flight check-in at the airport. Meals B
