other artists who were captivated by the beauty of this area including Cezanne and Pissarro. Van Gogh worked nonstop, painting the farmhouses, and winding roads to the fields and he would probably recognise the landscape, the town, and the lovinglyrestored garret where he lived above the Auberge Rouge. We ended with a visit to the Absinthe Museum – and of course a tasting of the ‘Green Fairy’, one of Van Gogh’s favourite tipples. Continuing the arty theme in Pointoise down river, we followed the Impressionist Trail with a guide who showed us the sites that featured in works by many artists including Paul Gaugin. Housed in a 19th century mansion, the Pissarro Museum features some of Camille Pissarro’s works plus those by his five sons and the Impressionists who were influenced by him. Then it was on to the glorious Chateau of Malmaison, where Josephine Bonaparte loved to grow roses and where after her divorce from Napoleon, she continued to live. Beautifully decorated and furnished in Empire style, it has an intimate feel to it though it’s barely ten miles from Paris. Sailing down the River Seine, sipping sparkling wine as you admire some of the most famous and legendary landmarks - the twinkling Eiffel Tower, the Statue of Liberty looking out from an island to its big sister in New York, the historic buildings and iconic sites is a feeling that’s uniquely special. It’s a cruise where you’ll make priceless memories to cherish forever.
