This 11-day trip hits seven Provençal destinations, including Avignon's UNESCO-listed Palais des Papes and lavender fields, Arles' 2,000-year-old amphitheatre where Van Gogh painted, and Viviers' medieval cathedral. Try a Provençal soap-making workshop and catch a classical concert in Avignon.
- Days 1-2
Lyon
Start your Southern France adventure in Lyon, France's food capital. Plan to arrive before 4:30 PM for a smooth check-in. The next day, visit the UNESCO-listed Basilica Notre-Dame de Fourvière first thing in the morning for the best photo opportunities. A guided food tour through Vieux Lyon (Old Town) is worth booking. You'll need a local guide to discover the hidden traboules (passageways) between buildings.
- Day 3
Mâcon
Take a cruise on the Saône River to discover the Beaujolais wine region. Most wines here are red, made from the Gamay grape. Schedule your wine tasting for the morning when your taste buds are fresh and you'll avoid the busy afternoon crowds.
- Day 4
Tournon
This riverside village is perfect for hiking through terraced vineyards. The 16th-century castle offers spectacular Rhône Valley views, but expect a steep 20-minute climb. Bring shoes with good grip since the old stone paths can get slippery.
- Day 5
Viviers
Walk through the medieval town's narrow cobblestone streets and check out one of France's oldest cathedrals. The town is small enough to explore on foot, but watch your step on the uneven ground. For great cathedral photos, head to Rue du Château in the late afternoon.
- Day 6
Avignon
Get to the Palais des Papes early to beat the crowds. If you're visiting from June to August, you'll see the lavender fields in full bloom. Consider an evening classical concert in a historic building. Bring something warm to wear since these old stone buildings stay cool even in summer.
- Day 7
Arles
This Roman city sparked Van Gogh's creativity for his most famous paintings. Visit the 2,000-year-old amphitheater early before it gets too hot. End your day with a Provençal dinner by the well-known chef Fabien Morreale.
- Days 8-11
Nice & Monte Carlo
Take a 2.5-hour transfer to Nice after leaving the ship in Arles. You'll have three nights to explore the French Riviera, including Monte Carlo. Get to Monaco's Prince's Palace before the tour buses arrive. In Nice, walk or bike the 7km Promenade des Anglais at sunset for beautiful Mediterranean views.
