A Colin Cowie Celebration
T h e S ou t h o f Fran c e
Let Colin Cowie and his talented team customize the most memorable and magical celebration for you and your guests in one of the most breathtaking destinations in the world, the South of France.
Fields of flowers and bountiful vineyards; bells chiming from a chapel the way they have for centuries; decadent chocolate, exquisite truffles, and rich full-bodied red wine; beautifully plated offerings delivered with solicitous care—a savoring bite and a sip of something divine—and these moments become a memory full of exquisite sensations. Experience the joie de vivre of Southern France as Colin Cowie uses his five-sense approach taking you on an amazing 360-degree journey by enhancing and developing what you see, smell, touch, feel, taste, and hear—from the moment you arrive to the moment you leave. 4-night Lyon - Lyon Boutique River Cruise

Day 5 Lyon (disembarkation) Destination Highlights: Lyon: A foodie’s pilgrimage and culinary mecca, Lyon is considered France’s culinary capital and home to Chef Paul Bocuse, considered an ambassador of modern French Cuisine. Tain-l’Hermitage and Tournon: Nestled on opposite sides of the river in the heart of the Côtes du Rhône, the twin cities of Tournon and Tain-l’Hermitage are an ideal destination for connoisseurs of fine wine and chocolate. Between the famous chocolates of Valrhona and the world-renowned Hermitage wines, this region is a real treat for the senses. Viviers: This is one of France’s most enchanting and best-preserved walled towns. With its narrow passageways and cobbled, sycamore-lined streets, you might feel as though you’ve gone back in time, or been transported to a Hollywood soundstage as Viviers is said to have inspired the idealized sets of the Juliette Binoche film Chocolat.
A Culinary journey
For the senses
““It’s when the candles burn halfway down, the wine has taken effect, and everyone has that all-telling smile wrapped two and a half times around their faces. That’s why we do what we do: we are in the business of making people happy.” Co l i n Cow i e
The UNESCO experts singled out French gastronomy as a “social custom aimed at celebrating the most important moments in the lives of individuals and groups.” Our dedication to farm-to-table culinary experiences leads us to uncover the finest foods sourced from regional farms, farmers’ markets and artisanal producers to ensure every meal embodies the unique character of the South of France. From Macarons— France’s most mysterious pastry of all—to wonderful cheeses, to the famous black mushrooms, Truffes, your destination celebration will revolve around some of the world’s finest cuisine and paired with world-class wines.

As you step onboard the S.S. Catherine, you will be immediately mesmerized by the stunning green-and-white marble flooring and mirror adorned walls. The glass elevator features a cascading waterfall down one side while the intricate sea-glass green-and white-handmade Murano chandelier sparkles from the ceiling.
A LUXURIOUS SETTING In the spirit of the French “Salon,” the S.S. Catherine’s Van Gogh Lounge with rich hues of gold, blue, red, and green furnishings provides an inviting haven for gatherings. A selection of hand-picked antiques and inspirational paintings from different artists, including Joan Miró, are certain to evoke conversation or deep contemplation. With its whimsical unique, leopard print carpeting and elephanthead bar rails, the enchanting Bar du Leopard offers the perfect place for cocktails.
