RIVER CRUISING IN FRANCE
THREE RIVERS, TWO NEW CRUISES & MORE EXCLUSIVE EXPERIENCES If French rivers could talk, they would share secrets of monarchs, popes and medieval wayfarers, of vineyards blessed with revered vintages, of painted towns immortalized by artists who redefined art, of regal châteaux, majestic castles and Benedictine abbeys standing as enduring testaments to their illustrious pasts. The Seine would tell tales of Paris and how one of the world’s greatest cities made history along its banks on our two new cruises. The Rhône would speak of its riverside hamlets, dressed in picturesque pastels and welcoming with pétanque and estate-crafted wines. And the Saône would tempt with tastings of pastries, chocolates and savory vintages, tended with traditions passed down through the ages. Come along with us and you won’t just hear the stories of France, you’ll live them.
