Charming Saint-Malo is the first destination. An ideal hors d’oeuvre before the days of city discovery to follow. From here there’s a chance to visit the fairytale island of Mont St Michel, home to over 60 national heritage sites. La Pallice is your gateway to the scenic landscapes and landmarks of La Rochelle; the flavoursome Cognac region; and the enchanting marshlands of Marais Poitevin (‘Green Venice’).
In Bordeaux, seeing the city – much of which is UNESCO-listed – begins at the end of the gangway, courtesy of Black Watch’s smaller size. Though the countless historic landmarks are sure to delight, no visit would be complete without sampling the famous wine culture. Invigorating experiences await at the Cité du Vin museum or on a vineyard tour, during your overnight stay.
Following several hours sailing through French countryside along the Seine River, Rouen brings the chance to hear tales of Joan of Arc and Richard the Lionheart on a walking tour; or take a romantic trip to Paris, perhaps. Pretty Honfleur completes this enticing line-up. You’re sure to be spellbound as you uncover the 16th
– a glistening reminder of Normandy’s maritime past.
