Join us on the ultimate journey through France. Start your journey on the historic shores of Normandy and cruise the Seine River valley to romantic Paris. Along the way visit Giverney, inspiration to many of Monet's masterpieces. Visit Paris, then a scenic motorcoach ride takes you through the countryside to charming Dijon for a lunch and tour. Then board the Viking Burgundy in Chalong. On the second half of your grand tour, sail through the famed vineyards of Burgundy, the lavender hills of Provence. You visit a number of UNESCO World Heritage Sites and view early Roman ruins in both Vienne and Arles. Walk the cobbled streets of Arles and see for yourself why it was such an inspiration to Vincent van Gogh. Learn about the region's time-honored traditions in wine-making and indulge your taste buds by sampling the famed cuisine of Lyon. And, of course no trip to Southern France is complete without a visit to the historic Papal Palace in Avignon, "City of the Popes." |
