WhereDaily News: Diamond Resorts International(R) -- Vacations for Life(R) -- Explore the French Countryside
LAS VEGAS, NV--(Marketwired - October 20, 2015) - The medieval city of Rouen is a feast of food, architecture, and history set amid the classical natural beauty of Upper Normandy, France. The historic capital sits along the banks of the Seine River, which flows through the French countryside and past picturesque villages like Connelles and Val-de-Reuil. Diamond Resorts International® Le Manoir des Deux Amants is an inviting, stunningly landscaped parkland in the heart of Normandy, where visitors can indulge in French hospitality. To wander the streets of Rouen with its lovely old buildings, markets, and shops is to step back centuries in time - back to when Joan of Arc met her fiery fate here in 1431, or when Monet famously immortalized the Giverny Gardens and the Cathedral of Notre Dame in the 1890s. Explore Jumièges Abbey, the fascinating remains of a Benedictine monastery, which was witness to several centuries of war and history until its descent into picturesque ruins by the time of the French Revolution. And while the area is undeniably rich in culture, it is also very popular for outdoor activities like hiking, bicycling, and other sports.
