Magnificent River Cruising in Provence, France

I am so excited to tell you the tale of the dynamic dozen. There were 12 of us that travelled together on a river cruise in Lyon through the Provence area. I would highly recommend spending a few nights in Paris before cruising. This gives you time to adjust to the time zone and explore the delights of the French capital.

When in Paris, make time for a stroll around the enchanting Luxembourg Gardens. These gardens were designed in 1612 by Marie de Medici in memory of her childhood in Florence. The Eiffel tour provides the perfect backdrop for photos!

"Paris is always a good idea!" Our pre-cruise hotel extension included a tour of the city by motor coach as well as a cruise on the charming Seine River. We then traveled by train to Lyon to embark on our river cruise. 
I could write paragraphs on the small ship. It was absolutely lovely. It was fabulous to watch the views from our personal balcony. The food and wine were superb.
Excursions were included each day. We loved visiting Lyon, Beane in Chalon-sur-Saone, Tournon, Viviers, Avignon and Arles. We explored quaint villages, took a hike through a vineyard and went shopping. Of course, we sampled lots of wine and delicious food!
River cruising has it all! It is extremely relaxing and a super fun way to travel with a group of friends. If you have questions or would like more information, please contact me. I am passionate about river cruising and would love to help plan your own river cruise adventure!
