Le Havre (Paris), France Port Reviews

Another extremely long day in a bus. 3 hours each way to Paris. WE had never been to Paris and wanted to see it to determine if we wanted to come back. Seeing Paris was wonderful but not so much thru the glared windows of a big bus. The lunch cruise on the Seine was fun with wine of all colors flowing freely. Food was good, and it was nice not to be in the bus for about an hour and a half. We made only one stop for 20 minutes at the Eiffel Tower to take photos, and felt that we could have stopped the at the L’Arch de Triump as we saw it only as the bus made a circular drive around it. Because of time constraints we took the Princess excursion so as not to miss the ship departure, however, there was very little traffic as it was a Sunday.

go on a tour, this place is not good

Overlord Tour of Normandy. I loved it.

We only went in and saw Paris from the bus and stopped at the Eiffel Tower but Paris is amazing!! Certainly want to go back to see it to be able to stop at everything. Also we found the Parisians very nice and welcoming.

Honestly Princess needs to eliminate this stop and add an extra day on one of the other ports like Edinburgh. I don’t think there’s enough time to go to Paris since it is 3 hours away but I guess is worth the risk. Whatever you do, don’t stay in La Havre is a ghost town, is dirty and expensive. Now the little market was nice as well as the catholic cathedral but that’s it.

Booked excursion "to Normandy" ... that just implied a visit to the invasion sites, cemetery, etc. Instead just a visit to the town of Hon Fleur - big disappointment

Long drive but excursion was very good

Interesting, long ride to a very old town.

Went on ships tour. Bus, boat ride, free time…wonderful excursion

Used this to take a RCC tour to Omaha Beach, the US cemetery and Bayeux to see the tapestry. Tour guide was phenomenal. A professor with PHD in history. He also took us to Caen to see the William the Conqueror sites as well. We were lucky to book this for $169. To do this independently would have cost about $500pp Don’t miss Omaha beach. Truly a moving day. Easier ride from Cherbourg.
