When is the best time to cruise the Seine River
April - May; We love Spring time, which offers milder temperatures, blooming gardens and fewer crowds.
June - August has hot summer days, lively regional festivals & extended daylight hours. We also love September to October with comfortable temperatures and we think it’s the best time to see Rouen & Monet’s garden at Giverny.
Late November & December brings Christmas markets and a festive cozy atmosphere
