The details

What's included

  • Settle aboard your elegant ship in Dijon, a city that blends historic grace with modern French life. The adventure begins with the soft glow of evening light and the promise of vineyards, villages, and Provençal charm ahead.
  • Lose yourself in the warmth of Burgundy, where medieval streets and market squares hum with quiet history. Whether by foot or by bicycle, today is a celebration of wine-country life–slow, rich, and endlessly inviting.
  • The morning brings mist over abbey spires and a glow of light upon the vineyards. Each stop–from storybook villages to gentle riverside paths–invites you deeper into the timeless countryside that defines Burgundy’s soul.
  • In Mâcon, life unfolds at a gentler pace–under the arches of ancient abbeys, across sun-streaked riverbanks, and through winding cobblestone streets. Savor the elegance of southern Burgundy and its first hints of Provençal warmth.
  • Lyon greets you with café aromas, grand architecture, and the quiet hum of daily life along its riverfront. Wander through its hidden passageways, sample its rich flavors, and feel the effortless harmony between past and present.
  • Between hilltop villages and quiet country roads, discover the rustic poetry of Provence–a world where history, flavor, and nature blend in perfect ease.
  • Avignon’s golden walls and Arles’ colorful streets capture the heart of southern France–warm, sunlit, and full of charm. Every moment feels like a work of art, from the taste of local wine to the places that once inspired Van Gogh.
  • Bid farewell to France and prepare for your journey home
