SOUTHERN FRANCE SOJOURN: LYON TO AVIGNON WITH LAVENDER FIELDS

Just mention the South of France and colorful images flood the imagination. This week-long luxury cruise turns those images into reality—and best of all, during French lavender season! Begin in Lyon to see the amazing historical sights and dive into the world-class foodie culture. Then, hit the river and stop at Art Nouveau Chalon-sur-Saône; Mâcon, where a Louis XV-era apothecary offers a peek at 18th-century medicine; Trévoux, whose feudal castle ruins stand as a tomb for a once-glorious past; Viviers, jumping-off point for truffle and prehistoric cave art encounters; the daunting 14th-century Palace of the Popes in Avignon; and other incredible ports. Dine on your ship’s Vista Deck* as encounter nature at its best in the Rhône Delta; consider an outing to Aix-en-Provence or the Camargue, Western Europe’s largest river delta—or active pursuits that introduce you to France’s amazing scenery in a fun and active way!
