France River Cruise: Rhone River

A river cruise on the Rhone River in France is a culinary and historical delight.

To date, Carol and I have enjoyed eight European river cruises.

We’ve sampled most of the fabled European rivers.  And we’ve had the privilege of experiencing these rivers aboard a variety of different cruise lines.

We are often asked, “what is your favorite river in Europe for a river cruise”.

Boy, that is a difficult question to answer.

However, if you twist my arm and require an answer, I will choose the Rhône River in France’s renowned Burgundy and Provence regions.

The area is world-renowned for its wine and culinary offerings.  Further, the river is dotted with cities rich in history, cobblestone streets, and architecture that is truly a sight to behold.

And when you get to the city of Arles, in the south of France, you will begin to understand why many of Europe’s finest artists made their homes in the area.

Carol and I have sailed the Rhône River twice, and we would both gleefully do it again.
