Portraits of the Rhône

Verdant vineyards, fragrant fields of lavender, honey-stone towns glowing in the sun – summertime in the South of France is glorious. This delightful week-long river cruise takes us along the Saône and Rhône, through Burgundy’s wine country and the lavender-scented hills of Provence. Along the way, we’ll stop off to explore Mâcon’s café-lined squares, Avignon’s city palaces and Arles’ Roman remains. We’ll finish with an optional trip to the Valley of the Ardèche, where limestone cliffs tower hundreds of feet above the river.
