DAYS

Your journey along France’s scenic Saône and Rhône Rivers takes you past some of the most beautiful vineyards and vistas in the French countryside. During your 8-day cruise, explore the famed region of Burgundy and the lavender-scented hills of Provence. You visit a number of UNESCO World Heritage Sites and view early Roman ruins in both Vienne and Arles. Walk the cobbled streets of Arles and see for yourself why it was such an inspiration to Vincent van Gogh. Learn about the region’s time-honored traditions in wine-making and indulge your taste buds by sampling the famed cuisine of Lyon. And, of course no trip to Southern France is complete without a visit to the historic Papal Palace in Avignon, “City of the Popes.”
