Visit Bletchley Park, home to the World War II codebreakers. This centre was established in scenic Buckinghamshire, well away from the risk of bombing in London. Explore the Victorian estate and original buildings, returning to the capital after lunch.

Tour all the major Parisian sights with an expert guide, including the Champs-Élysées, the Palais Garnier opera house, and the Louvre. Guests can also visit the Latin Quarter and savour some delectable treats on a gastronomic excursion.
Vernon is a charming French town with pretty cobblestone streets, half-timbered houses, and a fascinating history due in no small part to its location between Paris and Rouen. On the way to Rouen, enjoy scenic sailing and classic Norman landscapes.
Normandy’s capital, Rouen, is dominated by its beautiful cathedral, which Claude Monet painted many times. Enjoy an expert-guided tour of the historic city, including the cathedral and the 14th-century Abbey where Joan of Arc was sentenced to death.

Enjoy a walking tour of the most scenic castle ruins in the Seine Valley with fabulous views of the river. Château Gaillard was built in the 12th century and was of huge strategic importance and an excellent example of medieval siege warfare construction.
Explore the treasures of the Louvre, France’s national museum, and repository of art with iconic artworks like the Mona Lisa and sculptures by Michelangelo. In the evening, enjoy traditional French cuisine at a Paris brasserie.
