Tauck made our travel carefree from arrival in Paris to departure in Lyon. Private airport transfers, outstanding riverboat accommodations, expert tour directors and local guides, plus unique excursions added up to a most enjoyable and informative trip. The walking tours of medieval Rhône villages were special highlights. – Tauck Traveler Review
Pont, the remains of a 10th-century castle, Côtes du Rhône vineyards and river vistas. Across the Rhône, and linked by a pedestrian bridge named La Passerelle Seguin after the engineer who designed the first suspension bridge over the river, you’ll stop in for tastes at the Valhrona Chocolate factory (subject to Monday closings) in Tain-l’Hermitage, where the delectable sweets are known for being made with meticulous attention to detail. Up next is the town of Valence, where its reputation as a seat of learning and a role today as the market hub for fresh foods from the Rhône Valley, have made it a popular home base for some of France’s finest culinary artists. Here at a renowned cooking school, you’ll enjoy a cooking presentation that features fresh ingredients prepared in a light, inventive style and afterward be treated to a wine and cheese tasting, to experience some of the region’s finest home-grown products. But do save an appetite for this evening, when the Captain’s farewell reception and dinner celebrate a fantastic French week as the ship begins its return to the city of Lyon. Meals BLD
