Contrasting landscapes, the most famous wine-growing areas in the world, fields of sunflowers, orchards, Provençal lavender fields and high-altitude, small villages on impressive rocky outcrops - that the river landscapes on the Rhône and the Saône have been a great source of inspiration for many impressionist painters can be understood by anyone who has once had the opportunity to observe this natural spectacle from the water.

We cast off in Arles and set sail for Avignon, where we will anchor until the next day and you can enjoy the poetic flair of this city. The following day you will continue your journey - cruising along the very romantic river landscapes that have given this trip its name. Passing through the sleepy medieval town of Viviers, the cruise on the Saône continues via Macon and Tournus to Chalon-sur-Saône, the second largest city in Burgundy. After a day stay in the birthplace of photography and a visit to the photography museum, we weigh anchor in Chalon-sur-Saône in the evening and set off for Lyon, where you finally disembark refreshed and inspired.
