Today we had the luxury of sleeping in as our excursion was scheduled for the afternoon. We had a walking tour of the Jumièges Abbey, which was built in the 7th century, later destroyed by the Vikings, partially rebuilt, but then destroyed during the French Revolution. leaving only impressive ruins.
We drove back along country roads and stopped to visit the MuséoSeine, a museum dedicated to the history of the Normandy Seine, before returning to the ship.
After cocktails and appetizers, we headed out for dinner at the Chateau du Taillis, a 16th century manor. Our menu included smoked salmon, duck, cheeses and a variety of desserts.
