Rhone Reverie: Arles
About This Cruise
Discover the captivating beauty of the Rhône River on an unforgettable journey that blends culture, nature, and the joyful spirit of southern France. Your adventure begins in Lyon, the vibrant capital of gastronomy, where culinary delights, a rich architectural heritage, and a lively atmosphere await. Indulge in gourmet experiences before setting sail down the river.
As you cruise through the gentle vineyards of Mâcon, admire the picturesque hillsides renowned for their exquisite wines. Take part in a wine tasting in this region famous for its Burgundy varietals. The voyage continues to Tournon, a charming riverside town known for its impressive castle and panoramic views of the surrounding landscapes.
In Viviers, one of France’s oldest towns, you'll encounter a fairy-tale calm. Stroll through historic streets lined with ancient façades that whisper tales of centuries past, offering a serene and contemplative atmosphere.
Next, immerse yourself in the cultural treasures of Avignon, where the massive Palace of the Popes and the iconic “Pont Saint-Bénézet” reflect the grandeur of the medieval papacy. Explore the old town and feel the unique charm of this UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Your journey culminates in Arles, a city steeped in Roman history, boasting a well-preserved amphitheater and a creative spirit that once inspired Vincent van Gogh. Here, the Rhône becomes a gateway to Provence, a region brimming with fragrance, warmth, and color — a land that touches the soul and leaves behind lasting memories.
Let the Rhône enchant you — with every bend, a new story unfolds.
