Uniworld River Cruise – Grand France River Cruise 2010
Grand France River Cruise
From the bridges of Paris to the beaches of Normandy and the sunny landscapes of the Mediterranean, you’ll experience all of France in a manner of unsurpassed style and comfort. Sail north and explore world-famous Paris. Visit the charming towns and villages such as Honfleur and Giverny, that were so inspirational to the Impressionist artists. Be inspired as you walk the beaches of Normandy where the Allied forces landed during WWII’s D-Day Invasion, and visit Rouen and the very site where Joan of Arc was martyred.
As you sail south through Burgundy and Provence from Chalon to Arles, you’ll enjoy lively towns and gorgeous landscapes. Visit Lyon, center of Gallo-Roman history and culinary capital of France. Walk through the streets of Arles, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the town immortalized by Van Gogh in over 300 of his paintings and drawings. And explore the well-preserved Medieval city of Avignon, with its spectacular Palace of the Popes. Grand France is one grand adventure offering you the very best of France.
