Why Normandy? Normandy is a historical site with great significance during WWII. Not only that, but it has some of the most beautiful architecture, art and stories that you can learn more about when you arrive.
Here are some reasons why you should visit Normandy!
The D-Day Beaches of Normandy

The Capital: Rouen
The city on the river Seine, Rouen, also known as the capital of Normandy is a must-visit site. In Rouen, you will see the beauty of Paved paths and cobblestones, gothic churches and buildings, medieval homes and the sky-dominated spires of the Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Rouen. If you’re familiar with the story of Joan of Arc, then you can drop by the St. Joan of Arc church.
The Beautiful Gardens of Giverny
Giverny is a village in Normandy that is worth visiting. As you explore the Seine river, you will pass through this gorgeous commune which was once the home and garden of Claude Monet. In art, you can find nature and in nature, you can find art. The landscapes of Giverny will draw anyone in by how colorful and dazzling it is. You can also take a visit to the Museum of Impressionism, which is dedicated to the continuity of the art colony present here.
French Jews in History
There are many renowned French Jews who paved the path to modern Judaism, including Rashi, a French Rabbi who authored a comprehensive commentary on the Talmud.
France was also where Jews were emancipated during the reign of Napoleon Bonaparte. It was a ground-breaking event that liberated the French Jews, but still it did not stop social injustices from occurring. Other events and stories include the Blois incident and so on. There’s a lot to learn and these are just the highlights of what you can expect on Kosher Riverboat Cruises.
