France with Bordeaux & the River Seine

Rich culture, striking landscapes and summertime warmth await on this exploration of France. Two days in Bordeaux set the scene, with smaller-sized Balmoral able to dock in the city centre, placing you among elegant boulevards, riverside wine bars and within reach of Médoc’s vineyards and Grand Cru estates. Saint-Malo tempts with walks along ancient ramparts and seafood fresh from the old walled town, while in Honfleur you can wander cobbled lanes and a colourful quay once painted by Boudin and Monet, now alive with galleries and cafés. A highlight comes as you sail the River Seine, winding past châteaux, quaint villages and rolling countryside towards Rouen, where Gothic spires and medieval stories abound.
