My First Day Aboard the M.S. France It has been an absolutely crazy day aboard the M.S. France, which will take me up the Seine River to les Andelys, Rouen, Honfleur and Duclair. I was so excited about this river cruise, not only because it departs in Paris (one of my favourite cities), but also because it’ll take me up to Normandy, a region of France that I’ve always wanted to see.
