7-night from Arles to Port of Dijon
Indulge in French flavors on a palate-pleasing itinerary that highlights the essence of France’s Burgundy and Provence. Visit French châteaux from Provence to Burgundy, visit the Papal Palace in Avignon and taste your way through the French culinary capital of Lyon. Delight in charming Tournus with its towering Romanesque abbey and historic apothecary shop and uncover the Roman history of Chalon-sur-Saône. While you’ll get more than a taste of Burgundy and Provence during this itinerary, the essence of these destinations will linger on your palate – and in your heart – for a lifetime!What's Included
- Embark your ship in Arles, France for your Essence of Burgundy & Provence river cruise. (D)
- Arles is considered one of the most beautiful cities in France. Let your experienced guide lead you to the top sights, including the Romanesque cathedral and Roman amphitheater. Or, if you wish to delve further into Van Gogh’s Arles, join a special walking tour along with a visit to the Vincent van Gogh Foundation, showcasing his legacy. Alternatively, you may take a guided bike tour through town. Later in the day, enjoy a walking tour in Avignon, aptly named the “City of Popes,” that includes the Papal Palace and the well-preserved medieval walls surrounding the historic center of town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. For a more flavorful experience, visit three venues around Avignon to taste regional specialties including macarons, cheese and wine, and tapenades. (B,L,D)
- Bid farewell to Dijon and prepare for your return flight home.
