SOUTH OF FRANCE SAFARI WITH CHÂTEAUNEUF-DU-PAPE

Eleven days in the South of France…is more than enough to fall hopelessly in love with this special place. Embark in Lyon with its 2,000-year history, commitment to world-class cuisine, and inspirational Place Bellecour, one of the largest squares in Europe. Then, on to Art Nouveau Chalon-sur-Saône; Mâcon, where a Louis XV-era apothecary offers a peek at 18th-century medicine; the feudal castle ruins at Trévoux; stately Avignon; Van Gogh’s beloved Arles; and Viviers, jumping-off point for a truffle-hunting lesson and prehistoric cave art encounter! Dinner on the Vista Deck* while passing through the spellbinding Rhône Delta will be an evening to remember. Other highlights include the monumental Palace of the Popes, wine tasting in Châteauneuf-du-Pape, and active excursions to see your destination from a different perspective!
