~ Barge Cruises in France ~
Rhone - Provence

Fine wines, ancient history and a taste of Provence

Cruise the Rhône River and some of the canals of France aboard a 12-passenger luxury barge-hotel (7 days - 6 nights). Enjoy gourmet French cuisine and regional wines, and admire the sun-drenched landscapes that inspired the great canvases of Paul Cézanne and Vincent Van Gogh, while you glide along on your comfortable barge.

This region is famous for sophisticated architecture dating back to the Romans. It abounds with remnants of fortifications, arenas and aqueducts that continue to amaze our modern engineers. As you cruise along, you'll see typical Provencal tiled roofs, lavender fields and olive groves. You'll visit the famed wine region of Châteauneuf-du-Pape and the picturesque towns of Orange, Avignon, Arles, and St Rémy plus the ancient Roman ruins of Pont-du-Gard.
