FRANCE

A short flight will take us to France, where we’ll slow things down for an indulgent sailing through Burgundy and Provence. Sun-kissed medieval architecture, rolling countrysides, and world-renowned wines await.

Find yourself in the middle of scenes made famous by Vincent van Gogh as you walk around Arles, discover stalls brimming with Dijon mustards, bread, cheeses, and produce for you to taste at the open-air market of Beaune, and hike the terraced vineyards of Tain-l’Hermitage for spectacular views over the Rhône, stopping at the top for a sip of what’s made here.

For our Rivers of the World guests, we’ve included one of our most popular add-on experiences. Walk inside the hollowed-out limestone quarries at the foot of Les-Baux-de-Provence, where the Carrières des Lumières projects a stunning visual art experience. You’ll be reminiscing about France for years to come—but first, you have one more leg of the journey to go!
