Viking Burgundy sails along France’s scenic Saône and Rhône Rivers past some of the most beautiful vineyards and vistas in the French countryside. During your 8-day journey, explore the famed region of Burgundy and the lavender fields of Provence. Visit Gallo-Roman ruins in both Vienne and Arles; walk the cobbled streets of Arles to see how it inspired Vincent van Gogh. And visit the historic Papal Palace in Avignon, “City of the Popes.” Learn about the region’s time-honored winemaking traditions, sample Burgundy varietals and try the famed Provençal cuisine in Lyon. C’est magnifique
