Cruise the Rhône from Arles to Lyon, discovering ancient Roman treasures, Provençal traditions, and the flavors of southern France through private experiences, wine tastings, and hands-on culinary discoveries.
Discover the Rhône Valley on a journey through southern France, where ancient Roman cities, medieval villages, and vineyard-covered hills tell stories centuries in the making. From the sun-drenched landscapes of Provence to Lyon, France's celebrated gastronomic capital, experience a region shaped by history, rich traditions, and a passion for the pleasures of life.
Along the way, discover the wild beauty of the Camargue during a private ranch visit, explore the grandeur of Avignon's Palais des Papes, and try your hand at chocolate-making with an expert pastry chef. Taste the wines of the Rhône Valley, pedal through the countryside, and experience local life in charming riverside towns.
