Meals onboard/Lunch
Upon arrival in Marseille, we will be visiting the Old Port of Marseille which is also the

Marseille - Basilique Notre Dame. It
was built on the foundations of an ancient fort at the highest natural point on
the south side of the Port of Marseille. Thereafter, check in to hotel and free
at own leisure.
Breakfast/Meals Onboard

you may choose to relax in your luxurious stateroom, or lounge on the Sun Deck
or at public spaces onboard while appreciating the surrounding views.
Meals Onboard
Explore a
sun-drenched Provençal town today with an allure all its own. Known for its
remarkable Roman ruins, Arles so
inspired Van Gogh that he painted some 200 paintings there. Arles has existed
since the sixth century BC, when the ancient Greeks founded it and named it
Theline. It was here that the Romans built their first bridge across the Rhône
River, creating a vital overland route between Italy and Spain.
Featured Excursion: Arles Walking Tour
Meals Onboard
The walled
city of Avignon is one of the most
fascinating towns in southern France, with a host of historic gems to
explore—including the fortress residence of rebellious popes who broke from
Rome and once lived and ruled here. You’ll see the Palace of the Popes and much
more today, and also have a chance to kayak under a 2,000-year-old Roman
aqueduct.
Choice of
Avignon walking tour with Palace of the Popes or Pont du Gard Roman aqueduct
visit or "Let’s Go” kayak ride on the Gardon River
A special Captain’s Welcome Reception and Dinner
will be prepared for you this evening.
Meals Onboard
An enchanting
village where time seems to have stopped centuries ago, Viviers has a long and storied past that goes back more than 1,600
years—and a splendid architectural heritage to match. At one time, Viviers was
divided along religious lines—the clergy lived in the upper part of the town,
the laity in the lower part. Your exploration of the town will take you through
both parts, as you begin at the crest and make your way to the riverbank.
Featured Excursion:Truffle hunting & village
of Grignan (Connoisseur Collection)* Intimate Viviers “Village Day”
Meals Onboard
If you love
fine wine, you’ll love the twin villages of Tournon and Tain-l’Hermitage.
Tournon may be a small town, but stirring events took place here: A castle was
raised on the hilltop in the 10th century to protect the region, and new
fortifications were added over the centuries, including two “new” towers built
to defend against Protestant attacks in the 16th century. You’ll see the
handsome houses constructed by wealthy merchants and garrison officers when you
walk through the Rue de Doux area, and you’ll pass the 14th-century church and
the oldest secondary school in France.
Featured Excursion:Choice of Tournon and
Tain-l’Hermitage twin villages stroll with wine tasting or “Let's Go” Hermitage
terrace vineyards hike with wine tasting
Meals Onboard
As the
epicenter of French gastronomy, Lyon
is a city of tantalizing contrasts. There’s much to explore here, from the work
of culinary visionaries to silk weavers’ secret passageways. After your choice

ride—a great way to see the sights.
Choice of Lyon Capital of Gastronomy tour or
Silk weavers walking tour or “Let's Go” Lyon peninsula bike tour
Meals Onboard
The pace of life is
decidedly more relaxed in Burgundy,
where endless rows of grapes hang heavy on the vine. The capital of the
region’s wine trade, Beaune is renowned for its history, beauty and highly
prized wine, as well as its medieval-era hospital—the Hospices de Beaune.
