The Camargue is the area between the two junction arms of the Rhône, which divides in the northern Arles. The biggest part of the Camargue is used agriculturally for growing vegetables, fruit and rice as well as for livestock breeding. The Camargue belongs almost entirely to the city of Arles, making it the largest community of France.
Day 6
Wednesday Avignon
Avignon is one of the few major towns, whose medieval encircling walls have remained almost completely intact. The contractees of this impressive monument were popes, who resided in Avignon, and whose influence is well-documented with the monumental Papal Palace with its towering facade, which you will witness from outside in our city tour in the morning. After lunch you can either go explore Avignon by yourself or you can choose to come with us to the magical town of Les Beaux de Provence and Pont du Gard, a huge aqueduct from the first Century (only bookable on board).
Day 7
Thursday Vienne/ Lyon
Around noon we will make a quick stop in Vienne, to give the participants of the tour to Les Halle (Market hall) and Lyon the opportunity to leave the deck. Guests, who do not participate in the excursion, stay on board and head to Lyon by boat. The city center of Lyon also offers numerous historic buildings and elegant places to visit. Especially around the centrally located Place des Terreaux wonderful buildings await you. The old town on the banks of the Saône belongs to the World Cultural Heritage since 1998. Since we‘ve reached the endpoint of our journey in Lyon, the ship will stay here over night, which gives you the chance to walk the winding little streets or enjoy the beautiful view of the city from the hill Fourviere.
