  • Leave room for souvenirs! This region is a foodie paradise, so leave a spot in your suitcase for those irresistible bottles of fine French wine. You'll also find gorgeous lavender-scented soaps in Provence.
  • European summer is a popular time to cruise the Rhone, however travelling from June to September is ideal when the crowds have gone and it is just you and the boat cruising on tranquil waters.
  • Extend your tour and depart in Nice. This picturesque city on the French Riviera has stunning natural beauty and alluring aquamarine waters.
