Tauck hospitality and total pampering of guests and the excellence of


your Tauck Directors and guides made it more than a vacation. It was an educational learning experience and a culinary delight with surprises at every turn. After 7 trips with you, I have run out of superlatives. The best word is ‘magical.’

Impressions: Monte-Carlo to Paris


The light along the Côte


d’Azur intoxicates. Storied towns lining the Rhône illuminate with history, past and present. And in Paris, just the thought of spending two nights viewing priceless art in world-famous museums – and dining on culinary arts perfected by master chefs – is enough to evoke the passionate artist in us all. Learn more from our own art expert who travels with you.


• See firsthand what drew the artists Matisse, Chagall and Jean Cocteau to the French Riviera, drawing your own conclusions during two nights in Monte-Carlo


• Cruise the Rhône to Provence, then step off the boat into the footsteps of van Gogh in Arles & Cézanne in Aix-en-Provence, discovering what impressed them – and you – the most


• Veni, vidi, vici. The Romans loved the riverfront towns you’ll explore on the cruise – find out what they left behind in Vienne


• Be sure to look at the saucy painted murals on building façades as you cruise into Lyon, before visiting its Beaux Arts museums


• Whet your Parisian palette inside a private artist’s studio, on a choice of visits to the Louvre or the Musée de Rodin and at pâtisseries where candy making is a delicious art in itself

TALK ABOUT BEING BULL-HEADED In the wild Camargue region of France, home to fleur del sel, white horses and feisty black bulls, we visit a private ranch run by cowboys whose favorite sport is to dare, dodge and run from the bulls they raise there.

Above, William Lobkowicz welcomes Tauck guests.
