About

Our hosted river tours through France in 2010 and 2011 drew first-rate reviews from our customers so if you like the thought of staying in grand,
moated castles and floating past dreamy French scenery that inspired Monet and Van Gogh, then this is the indulgent sojourn you have been
looking for.

Our full, 26-day tour includes two seven-night Avalon cruises and a week-long tour through the most romantic countryside you could
imagine. Cruise first through the south of France on the Rhone River to Vincent Van Gogh’s town of Arles and through fabled Provence and
Burgundy before we tour the heart of France’s wine region with visits to and stays in enchanting chateaux and a tour of the walled medieval town
of Carcassonne.

Then in Paris we cruise along the Seine River to visit Rouen, the beaches of Normandy and Claude Monet’s idyllic gardens at
Giverny that he immortalised on canvas.

We will host you all the way and as this is our third Grand France tour we can take you to some special places and ensure you are pampered!
