Highlights from our 2024 river cruise on Viking. Paris and the Heart of Normandy with an extension in Oxford for Highclere Castle and Blenheim Palace.

We started and ended the cruise part in Paris. We hit La Roche-Guyon where Rommel had his headquarters in France and Giverny to see Monet’s Gardens. Next stop was Rouen and from there we bused over to Caen and Omaha Beach. On the way back to Paris we hit Les Andelys. From Paris we took the Eurostar to London and bus out to Oxford. We then took in Highclere Castle and the village of Bampton, aka Downton Abby and Downton Village. Final day was Blenheim Palace.

All of these were shot with the Sony RX100 VII, great little travel camera.
