Rhone Winter Holiday
About This Cruise
As winter comes to Provence, the crowds of summer dwindle away and true, heartfelt local traditions shine. In a region where peaceful boulevards and quaint pâtisseries sit right alongside ancient Roman ruins, the holiday season brings a sense of quiet charm and rich history to the South of France. Visit towns from Arles to Lyon and all the little villages in between, stopping to explore rustic local customs from hand-painted santons to seasonal delights such as vin chaud and nougat.
