Tuesday Night in Rouen and Wednesday in Vernon

There is a laser light show, projected onto the cathedral, every night. Wayne was determined to go even though it doesn't take place until 11 pm. (I didn't last past 10 pm!)

This is the first of 6 locks we will be going through on the river.


We stopped in the town of Les Andelys where the Chateau Gaillard is located. This fortress was built by Richard the Lionhearted.


Yes, we climbed to the top. Wayne took the long path while I took the short path. However, both ways were extremely steep!

This is the view of the town from the fortress.


The river and town behind us.

 We next visited Giverny where Claude Monet lived for 43 years. We visited his home and gardens which are fantastic!

 Another shot of the gardens. There were rows and rows like this.


There was also a huge water garden with surrounding paths.

 Across the river from where we are docked is this building that appears to be built on old bridge pilings. Someone in the group said they think it's a grist mill.

 This is in the same area. No one knows what it is, but it's definitely worth a picture!

Walking back across the bridge to our boat. Our's is the one closest to the dock. If you are on one of the other boats, you have to cross through our boat to get to shore!
