Thriving Seniors Program – Paris and the Heart of Normandy: Cruising the Seine

Come and join as Paul Steinbok shares his photos and his journey and adventures from Paris to the heart of Normandy with his wife, Edie.  This trip will take us En route, as they visited La Roche Guyon and Vernon and explored Giverny and the house and gardens where Claude Monet lived and worked. From Rouen they visited Juno Beach on Normandy’s coast, the site of the Canadian landing on D-Day, June 6, 1944 and the nearby Commonwealth cemetery. On the return trip up the Seine, they stopped at Les Andelys with its imposing castle, Château Gaillard, built by Richard the Lionheart. Then, on to Napoleon’s Château de Malmaison at Le Pecq before returning to Paris. This was a trip filled with history, art and architecture, in beautiful urban and pastoral settings.
