Canal & River Cruising
In general, canal cruises emphasize relaxed,
leisurely travel in remote countryside areas. The actual miles
traveled on a canal trip are relatively few, with frequent opportunities
for spontaneous waterside activities such as walking, bicycling
along towpaths and local excursions. River cruises cover more
ground, more quickly. They too offer a relaxed onboard atmosphere,
but the emphasis shifts towards a more comprehensive itinerary,
with most activity taking place on sightseeing tours away from
the ship.

FRENCH-AMERICAN
RELATIONS
Two
centuries of friendship
America's contribution to the liberation of France
was the most recent chapter in a friendship that has spanned two
centuries. From General Lafayette's decisive aid to the American
colonies in 1781, to that early June morning of 1944 on the beaches
of Normandy, the Franco-American friendship has produced a cultural
richness evident in figures like Alexis de Toqueville, Benjamin
Franklin, Jean-Jacques Audubon, the Statue of Liberty, Gertrude
Stein and Sidney Bechet.

Chateau
La Chenevière
Chateau La Chenevière is an 18th century chateau situated
between Omaha Beach, where the American forces landed on D-Day
1944, and the historic town of Bayeux, famous for its tapestry
depicting the conquest of England by William the Conqueror in
1066. This elegant, classical residence stands in its own parkland
of mature trees, embracing the graceful mannerisms  of
a bygone era and the warmth of an English country house. It
is a haven of peace and rural tranquility. The twenty rooms,
each with a garden view, are generously spacious and comfortable,
with a range of personalized floral decors. The distinguished
cuisine of chef Claude changes with the seasons and the day’s
catches from the sea accompanied by many fine wines. Chateau
La Chenevière awaits you in a peaceful; verdant setting
with a staff proud to offer guests service that is worthy of
a deluxe hotel. You will be received in the best tradition of
hospitality in Normandy.
