Discover the festive magic of Lyon & Provence

The Rhône and Saône rivers meander through the picturesque South of France, where you’ll discover picture-perfect villages, palaces and Roman ruins, and delicious Provençal cuisine.
It’s no surprise that the South of France is recognised as the birthplace of photography, its unrivalled beauty comprises the finest examples of French 15th century architecture, with medieval monuments and sun-soaked vineyards nestled at the foot of colossal mountain ranges. Journey to the country’s gastronomic beating heart, Lyon, and savour the region’s exceptional viticulture. At this magical time of year, experience festive traditions at local Christmas markets amid beautiful French cities, learn to decorate santon figurines, a beloved Provence nativity symbol and indulge in a seasonal Provençal dinner on board, exclusively hosted by renowned French chef, Fabien Morreale.
