Viking River Cruise from Lyon to Avignon, France – The Land of Fine Wine and Cuisine
Vibrant late fall colors painted across the trees and hillsides, the worn exterior of ancient stone buildings, awe-inspiring views from medieval walled cities, the mystical white horses on the plains of the Camargue, a steam locomotive laboring along the worn tracks overlooking the river gorge, and enticing aromas wafting along the city streets on market day in the land of fine wine and cuisine. These a just a few of the remembrances from our cruise along the Rhône River in the South of France.
Watch this brief overview video of our river cruise on board the Viking Buri.
Romance, beauty, and passion are words that come to mind when I think of France. Anyone who’s been to the country comes away with a special spot in their heart for the places they visited: such as walking the streets of the City of Lights at night in Paris ; seeing the spectacular jagged cliffs along the coastline of the Côte d’Azur; driving past the fields of lavender in Provence; watching the fast moving dramatic skies with their white billowy clouds against the backdrop of brilliant deep blue over the shores of Normandy ; or seeing Monet’s paintings come to life in the gardens and at the home of the famous painter in Giverny .
This recent trip, with Viking River Cruises , took us on a journey from the gastronomic capital of Lyon and its well-preserved medieval old town with fabled alleyways known as traboules through the historic region of the French countryside along the Rhône. Bursting with notable history, art, and architecture, along with breathtaking scenery, not to mention fabulous food and wine, our final destination on the itinerary was Avignon. A place we had visited before, we were excited to return to this beautiful walled city in Provence and once again walk the impressive rooms and hallways through the majestic Pope’s Palace, the largest Gothic structure of its time (dating back to the 14 th century) in what is known as the “City of Popes.”

Viking River Cruises
One of the best ways to travel throughout many parts of the world is by a river cruise. These ships are able navigate the most significant waterways around the globe and can dock in smaller cities or villages where you can get off the ship and walk into the center of town to see the sights and attractions, immerse yourself in the local culture, and enjoy the food and wine of the region. Viking River Cruises provides a wealth of information about each destination as part of your cruise, from an overview of all of the ports of call in your cruise documents, to nightly port discussions, and the included guided excursions or optional tours.
The Viking Buri
With the intimate guided tours, we learned about each port of call and the surrounding area, so that we could fully appreciate the importance of the history, art, architecture, scenery, and food and wine of this special region of France. Looking back at the photographs, it was a magical journey. Several of the excursions, particularly the trip to the Camargue, with its beautiful ruggedness, and a visit to a local manade to see the famed wild horses and Camargue bulls and have lunch with the cowboys, was extraordinary, and one of the most memorable tours we’ve been on.

Embarking on the journey
We knew Lyon would be a fascinating city to begin this cruise with its ancient old town and notoriety of being the Gastronomic Capital of France and the world, but it proved to be so much more with the largest and most extraordinary outdoor market we’ve ever seen, one of the best meals we’ve had in our travels at a local bouchon , and the aromas of citrus and hearty French food throughout the streets and traboules . It was the perfect gateway (and one we’ll be writing about more in the future) to begin this journey that would take us through the wine regions of Burgundy, Beaujolais, and Châteauneuf-du-Pape, and to the famous historic cities of Cluny, Tournon, Viviers, Arles, and Avignon.

Destinations
Beaujolais and cluny .
From Macon, which is considered the border between the northern and southern wine regions of France, we were able to visit both Beaujolais to see the vineyards and taste recent vintages as well as visit the impressive Abbey de Cluny in the town of Cluny in Burgundy.
Late fall in Beaujolais
The vineyards and hillsides in Beaujolais in late fall were awash with gorgeous reds and yellows following the harvest and offered a very different scene than seeing the vineyards in late summer when the vines are filled with dark green leaves and the plump grapes waiting for the right moment to be harvested. We tasted the fruity red wines this region, along the Saône River, is known for, and learned about what is perhaps the most well-known and celebrated wine produced here, Beaujolais Noveau. Produced yearly and released around the New Year, this seasonal wine is easy to drink.

The picturesque town of Cluny, with its Gothic and Romanesque architecture, is dominated by the impressive ruins of the Benedictine abbey, the Abbey de Cluny , which was known as the most influential church in all of Chistendom. Dating back to the 11 th century, this monastery was home for as many as 10,000 monks and the abbey’s rich history is fascinating to explore.

Today the halls, the ruins, and the newer structures surrounding the Abbey, are filled with students attending the European College of Cluny, which focuses on current major issues, such as climate change, sustainable development for agriculture, infrastructure, and digital technology. The intrigue and honor of attending a university with so much medieval history must always be present, as we saw a number of the students dressed in period garb wandering the campus.

Pérouges
One of our favorite places we visited (and certainly one of the most picturesque) was the fortified village of Pérouges . Dating back to the 12 th century and classified as one of the Plus Beaux Villages de France or Most Beautiful Villages in France, there was a photo opportunity at every turn in the winding cobblestone streets of this charming village. Located in the Rhône-Alpes, it lies just 25 miles northeast of Lyon. We have so many photos to share, so look for an upcoming piece on this quaint medieval village.
Cobblestone streets of Pérouges
Greetings from Pérouges
From the city of Tournon , we traveled to the Doux Valley to take a ride on the Train de l’Ardeche, old-fashioned steam train, which is listed as a French historical monument. Venturing into the forest on wooden tracks set in steep hillsides along the gorge and crossing over stone bridges (in an area not accessible by road), we were afforded panoramic views of the quiet and pristine countryside and valley and saw several of the ancient aqueducts that were built in Roman times.
it reminded me of the Hogwarts Express
The Doux Valley
As we came to the end of the track, we deboarded the train and watched, fascinated as children, as the engine came chugging down the track, spewing steam, and reversed its direction so that it could turn around and pull us back in the opposite direction to return to the station.

It was market day when we visited the ancient city of Arles , so we were able to visit another bustling Provençal market the region is famous for, replete with its amazing smells, sights, and flavors. Arles is also the home of Impressionist painter Vincent Van Gogh. A number of Arles’ historic sites and street scenes are included in the works of this famous artist exhibiting the unique golden light that casts over these timeworn and sun washed structures and ancient buildings. The captivating light, beautiful scenery, and brilliant colors have called many artists to the region.

A walk through the former capital of Roman Gaul during the Roman Empire, revealed many well-preserved buildings and ruins from Gallo-Roman times, including the Amphithéâtre d’Arles , a 20,000-seat open-aire theater. Looking at this impressive structure, dating back to the time of Augustus (27 BC–14 AD), which is still used today, I imagined scenes from movies with gladiators battling or chariot races in the arena surrounded by thousands of clamoring fans. It was fascinating to see these wonders of ancient times as a significant part of today’s city.

The Camargue
As we left the busy city center of Arles and headed to the area between the Mediterranean and two sections of the Rhône River Delta region, known as the Camargue , the landscape transformed dramatically to wide-open spaces with nature preserves, marshes, rice fields, and glimpses of the legendary wild horses of the Camargue. The oldest living breed of horses in the world, they are indigenous to the wetlands of Camargue along this coastal southern region of France. Born either brown or black, they change to their greyish white color between two to four years of age.
The white horses and bulls of the Camargue
The cowboys of the Camargue, known as Gardians, rely on these white horses to herd the native Camargue bulls that are also born on the manade , which is a natural breeding area for both the horses and the cattle. Our visit to this intriguing region included a ride in a tractor-drawn carriage to watch the cowboys and their majestic horses round up the bulls. Quite a display, it was fascinating to watch them at work performing a centuries old tradition. Afterward, we enjoyed an aperitif in the sun-drenched courtyard followed by lunch, which featured a Provençal specialty, Gardian, La Camargue or “Cowboy” Beef Stew with Black Olives.

Aigues-Mortes
A full-day excursion, which began in Arles, our last stop was Aigues-Mortes , an imposing walled medieval town with four corner towers, that appears to rise up out of the flat coastal marshlands of the Petit Camargue. Located 56 miles northwest of Marseilles, the town was founded in 1240 by Louis IX, the first king of France, as a Mediterranean port from which he later launched his Crusades.
The golden light on the fortress wall at Aigues-Mortes
Highlights of this city include a walk around the rampart walls to view the layout of the town with its unique linear streets and a visit to Constance Tower with its spectacular pinnacle view. The center of activity is Place Saint-Louis, the main square, which is lined with the usual mix of restaurants, cafés, galleries and boutiques, and cobblestone streets. Beyond the walls, in the summer, you can see the eerily red salt lagoons of the Camargue, with their glistening white salt piles that seem to bloom from the water. Fleur de Sel de Camargue is a prized salt that’s been harvested in this region for over a thousand years.
The region is known for its famous nougatine

Back on board the Viking Buri
After full days of sightseeing and taking in all of what this region has to offer, we were glad to return to the ship and relax back on board the elegantly designed Viking Buri , where the staff and crew were always attentive.

Chef Dimitris Sidiropoulos and his culinary staff did an outstanding job with the cuisine served on board the ship. As part of the immersion into the region, the dishes were inspired by this region of France and served with wines produced along the Rhône and Saône river valleys.

Cruise Expedition France
Share this with
W hen you unwind and indulge in a wine-forward river cruise down the rivers of France with Viking , you set sail for a total sensory experience. This is a luxurious feast for not only the palate but also the eyes. And it sure seems like wine tastes better when you’re enjoying it within view of the bucolic vineyards of its origin. Viking knows well the riverbanks of France that produce some of the world’s best wine, full stop. Their cruise guests sail in total cultural immersion, meeting local vintners and discovering new places. You will learn about wine-making techniques and have exclusive access to some of the most private estate facilities. The fact that France has some of the best food in the world only adds to the fun – these sailings are indeed a full gastronomic pleasure. With these three top cruises, Viking has perfected the art of river cruise wine wandering, where you can just taste the history with every sip.
Bordeaux Return: Châteaux, Rivers & Wine
Why not indulge your passion for wine by going right to the source? On this eight-day river cruise through Bordeaux , you can enjoy Saint-Émilion, Médoc and Sauternes with the local vintners who create it. Stroll through the vineyards, tasting Grand Cru and Premier Cru wines at their place of origin. The itinerary couldn’t be more perfect for those who want to dig deep into the histories and cultures of some of the most exclusive wines in the world. Viking guests can acquaint themselves with the ports, farms and forests of Aquitaine. Unique opportunities to savor oysters from the bay at Arcachon, hunt for truffles in Périgord or create your own blend of Cognac in Cognac are all part of the agenda. You will learn about the history and traditions of winemaking in Médoc, and pair glasses with the decadent traditional foods that have made these regions some of the most influential in the culinary world. A dip into the Cadillac wine region caps off a week of the finer side of Bordeaux life.
From Paris to Vienne: France’s Finest
This 15-day trip combines two popular Viking routes into one. The adventure uncovers the chic splendor of Paris and the histories of Normandy , while indulging you in the foremost food and wine in Provence and Lyon . You will explore the winding streets of Paris, drinking in not only the wine, but also the enticing joie de vivre. The historic beaches of Normandy are next – Omaha, Juno and Gold beaches – revealing the sites of World War II, followed by the Gothic tales of Rouen. Reaching Lyon, the gastronomic capital of France, you savor classic home-style bistro specialties – fluffy quenelle dumplings, salade Lyonnaise, coq au vin, andouillette sausage and more. Lyon’s culinary heritage is second to none. Beaujolais wine country is next, revealing bucolic countryside, local wines, luscious truffles and château charm. The valleys of the Rhône showcase a world of wine glory, an olfactory sensation almost eclipsed by the lavender fields of southern countryside.
From Avignon to Lyon: Lyon & Provence
When you sample wine at Châteauneuf du Pape, all other wine experiences may pale in comparison. Provence and Lyon are the focus of this eight-day river cruise, with an itinerary that is perfect for lovers of art and architecture, as well as for connoisseurs of fine wine – the finest, in fact. Imagine medieval towns, stunning castles and cobblestone alleys, paired with truffle hunts, cheese farms and all the local wine you can fathom. This Viking voyage begins in Avignon and a visit to The City of Popes, the world’s largest Gothic palace, an architectural wonder. Step within the stadium tiers of a 2,000-year-old Roman arena that is still in use today in Arles. Hike through the vineyards of the Rhone Valley and visit fascinating medieval towns, untouched by the war, before reaching Lyon, the palate-pleaser of all of France.
This is a river cruise worth savoring.
Your Tully Travel Designer can get you on the gangway of any of these amazing Viking river cruises now. If you haven’t experienced France like this before, now is your time. When you see the sights that inspired some of France’s most celebrated artists, the hillsides and meadows will remain in your mind’s eye for years to come.
