Day 1 - Lyon, transfer to Chalon sur Saône
Arrive at Lyon airport where you will be transferred to your ship docked in Chalon sur Saône. (D)
Day 2 - Chalon sur Saône (Beaune)
Featured Excursions: Beaune, Hospices de Beaune, and open-air food market visit
Located in the heart of Burgundy, Chalon sur Saône is an important
center for France’s wine trade. From here, you will journey to nearby
Beaune to visit the famous Hospices de Beaune, a charitable hospital
founded by the Chancellor of Beaune in 1443. Marvel at the multicolored
roofs of this architectural jewel, which has become one of the symbols
of Burgundy. The hospice monks were given some vineyards in the 15th
century so they could make wine to auction in order to help support
charities, and to this day, the tradition continues. Sample local
delicacies for lunch on your own at the open air market. (BB, Captain's Welcome Gala)
Note: The open-air food market visit will take place in Arles on reverse direction cruise (Chalon sur Saône to Arles).
Day 3 - Lyon
Featured Excursions: Choice of Lyon city tour OR exclusive Lyon Heritage walk
Lyon is the country’s lively and creative capital of gastronomy. Your
tour starts with a drive to the Basilique Notre Dame de Fourvière,
Lyon’s hallmark church, for a dramatic view of the town, which was built
at the confluence of the Rhône and Saône rivers. From the motorcoach,
you will view Terreaux Square, the Musée des Beaux-Arts, and the Opera
House. Or opt for an intimate exploration of Lyon’s Heritage on foot.
From Fourvières Hill, take the funicular down to the Saint Jean old
quarter, where you’ll venture into the
maze of alleyways, courtyards, and traboules (historic passageways). (BB, L, D)
Day 4 - Tournon/Tain l’Hermitage
Featured Excursions: Wine tasting and Tournon walking tour
Nestled among famous vineyards, the twin cities of Tournon/Tain
l’Hermitage are an ideal destination for those who are true connoisseurs
of wine. Celebrate the
region by indulging in some Côtes du Rhône mid-valley wines. Then cross
the Marc Seguin suspension bridge and visit Tournon and its historic
castle. (BB, L, D)
Day 5 - Viviers
Featured Excursion: Viviers walking tour and organ concert
Lovely Viviers, developed around its Romanesque cathedral, retains much
of its historic charm. Your tour of Viviers starts in Old Town with an
introduction to the city. You will take the Rue Chévrerie to Porte
Riquot, then climb Rue du Château to reach St. Vincent Cathedral, where
you will enjoy an organ concert.
Finally, you will walk through the Medieval streets of this delightful town on your way back to the ship. (BB, L, D)
Day 6 - Avignon
Featured Excursions: Choice of Avignon walking tour and Palace of the Popes OR exclusive Avignon secret garden tour
Avignon, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is full of history, culture, art,
and life, and you will capture all of that on your walking tour of the
“City of the Popes.” Your tour starts at the fortification walls and
continues to Clocktower Square. In truly Provençal style, under the
shadows of the sycamores, the colorful café terraces face the
magnificent architecture of City Hall, the Opera Theatre, and the
classic mansions. Next, it’s on to Popes’ Palace Square for an inside
view of the maze of galleries, chambers, and chapels that make up the
grand Palace of the Popes. Or opt for a tour of Avignon’s secret
gardens, with an invigorating walk through parks and orchards, secret
squares and fountains, and the flower market. You will have leisure time
to enjoy more of this magical city on your own. (BB, L, Captain's Farewell Dinner)
Day 7 - Arles
Featured Excursion: Arles walking tour and open-air food market visit
Vincent van Gogh found inspiration in the charming town of Arles and you
will, too. Under the spell of the Provençal light and the vivid colors
of nature, he spent a period of intense and impassioned work under these
bright sunny skies. In fact, he produced more than 300 paintings and
drawings in 15 months, including Starry Night. During your
walking tour, discover Van Gogh’s Arles as well as a fascinating wealth
of Roman monuments, such as the Amphitheater and Constantine’s baths.
Afterwards, visit open-air market and sample some of its delicacies. (BB, L, D)
Day 8 - Depart Arles
Disembark the ship in Arles and transfer to the Marseille International Airport
for your return flight home, or extend your stay in Aix-en-Provence. (CB/BB)
