Come celebrate 150 years of Impressionism with us!
Discover the inspirations of the ephemeral movement that revolutionized the art world and understand why artists were influenced in such a way. Unleash a feeling of freedom on a cruise from Paris to Normandy and bask in the light the painters loved.
The first Impressionist exhibit—initiated by Sisley, Renoir, Bazille, Monet, and several others—took place 150 years ago, on April 15, 1874. Each of these great artists once lived on the banks of the legendary Seine River. Bordered by windmills and half-timbered homes, the Seine reflects the thousand shades of the sky as it winds its way through the Norman countryside to the English Channel. Endless landscapes represented on countless canvases. Explore the locations that inspired the movement, such as Rouen and Honfleur. The Côte d'Albâtre, bathed in the green and blue waters of the English Channel, is home to the best Normandy has to offer.
The internationally renowned village of Giverny is a perpetual poem.

Honfleur is a commune in the Calvados department in northwestern France. It is located on the southern bank of the estuary of the Seine across from le Havre and very close to the exit of the Pont de Normandie. Its inhabitants are called Honfleurais.
It is especially known for its old, beautiful picturesque port, characterized by its houses with slate-covered frontages, painted many times by artists, including in particular Gustave Courbet, Eugène Boudin, Claude Monet and Johan Jongkind, forming the école de Honfleur (Honfleur school) which contributed to the appearance of the Impressionistmovement. The Sainte-Catherine church, which has a bell tower separate from the principal building, is the largest church made out of wood in France.
