Welcome to Episode 4 of our Western Europe Vlog series.

In this episode, we are in Rouen for two nights, where we journey to the nearby iconic Palace of Versailles, whose royal grandeur contrasts vividly with Rouen’s intimate, medieval-rich charm including tracing Joan of Arc’s powerful legacy, and the iconic Le Gros-Horloge - a 14th-century astronomical clock.

In this series (an 11-nt cruise from Portugal to Amsterdam, with pre-cruise exploration of Madrid and Sintra, and post-cruise tour of Amsterdam), we visit:

Madrid & Sintra
We enjoyed our pre-stay exploring Madrid’s Royal Palace and the Botanical Garden, ending with churros con chocolate at the iconic Chocolatería San Ginés. From Lisbon, we visited the stunning National Palace of Pena in Sintra—an unforgettable start before our cruise.

Porto
We spend a day in Porto, savoring flavorful tapas and being captivated by the soulful rhythms of traditional fado music.

Bilbao
We spend a day in Bilbao with a scenic trip to coastal Castro Urdiales and admiring the stunning Gothic architecture of the Church of Santa María de la Asunción.

St Malo
We spend a day in St. Malo visiting the iconic Mont Saint-Michel, marveling at its medieval architecture rising dramatically from the tidal waters.

Cherbourg
We spend a day in Cherbourg, strolling the grounds of Revaltes Castle and exploring the Maritime Museum, discovering the region’s rich history and stunning coastal heritage.

Rouen
While in Rouen, we take a trip to the Palace of Versailles, marveling at its opulent halls, grand gardens, and the timeless elegance of this iconic royal residence.

Bruge
