Kim/Wanda/Connie

The trip was fantastic; you did a wonderful job organizing it. The trains and the hotels were walking distances, and it was great. It was wonderful to get to the train stations, and our seats were pre booked. During the tours we just walked pass the long lines of people waiting to get into the sites. 😊. The tours were very informative and interesting. The ladies spoke English very well and my husband and I enjoyed talking to them later in Italian.

In Normandy, the thousand-year-old city of Rouen is bisected by the Seine, which is spanned by no fewer than six road bridges! These structures aren’t just ways to get from one bank to the other; they tell the story of the city’s industrial, cultural, and architectural history. It’s a city worth visiting to expand your knowledge! #rouenTourism #normandy #FamousBridges #FranceTravel ...
