The south of France is a charming region renowned for its natural beauty, its delightful architecture and of course its fine wines, and this 8 day river cruise itinerary with Riviera Travel lets you enjoy all three to your hearts content. You’ll begin in Lyon, at the heart of the Rhone and Saone rivers, with its old town that is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. You’ll travel north to Chalon, your gateway to the many wine villages of Burgundy, before returning south en route to Avignon via Arles, both destinations packed with stunning examples of historic constructions with Roman, Medieval and Gothic influences.
