Overview
Rouen and Paris have always been connected — by the Seine, by history, by the flow of people and ideas between Normandy’s capital and France’s. Today the drive takes just over an hour.
This private tour picks you up at the Rouen cruise terminal or your hotel and takes you to Paris for the day. The Eiffel Tower. Notre-Dame, newly restored and more beautiful than before. The Louvre’s
glass pyramid. The Champs-Élysées stretching toward the Arc de Triomphe.
Of all the ports in Normandy, Rouen gives you the shortest road to Paris. This tour makes the most of that advantage — more time in the city, less time in the car, and a guaranteed return to the terminal
before your ship departs.
Your driver handles the route, the parking, and the pace. You handle the priorities. No group, no fixed schedule, no compromises.
Upgrade with a licensed Paris guide for expert commentary and a deeper experience at every stop.
