The art of living—L’Art de Vivre—centers primarily around food in France. Our expert chefs will introduce you to a French wine expert who is well-versed in the charms of local life and the region’s culinary diversity: from famous wines to aromatic herbs. You shouldn’t miss a visit to the market either; every stall offers the finest products and will proudly invite you to sample them. Wine tastings at local wineries are a must for wine connoisseurs. As you enjoy good food and wine with friendly people, you’ll lose track of time, and through conversation, sipping, and laughter, you’ll realize that this is the “art of living.”
All cruises are international, meaning that all materials—such as menus, shipboard announcements, etc.—are in English. Similarly, excursions are available with English-speaking guides, and the crew on board speaks English (and usually German as well).
Lyon - every beautiful cruise on the Rhône begins in Lyon, and there is a good reason for that: Lyon is a beautiful, modern city with an impressive Old Town and world-class cuisine. Lyon owes part of its culinary reputation to the acclaimed French chef Paul Bocuse, who made it the headquarters of his empire of brasseries, restaurants, and cafés. The city is known for its simple yet high-quality cuisine, which is based on regional products and has earned it the nickname la ville de guele (the city of flavors).
Avignon - you’ve surely heard of the famous bridge from the song—this bridge actually exists, or at least part of it: wars and floods have reduced the bridge’s original 22 arches to 4. In 1660, after another flood, the bridge was abandoned. Besides the bridge, you’ll likely be most delighted by Avignon’s palaces, wine, and culture. The Papal Palace is monumentally impressive, especially in the evening when it’s lit up.
Chalon—lies upstream where the Saône narrows, which is the turning point for modern ships. The pier is very close to the city center, so from the ship you can take a lovely walk directly to everything worth seeing here, such as the museum documenting the birth of photography here in Chalon, or St. Vincent’s Cathedral, which stands on the square of the same name—namely, in the heart of the historic center, on Place Saint-Vincent.
ADDITIONAL SERVICES INCLUDED IN THE PRICE:
- Two wine menus prepared by gourmet ambassador Oliver Edelmann and the A-ROSA team, accompanied by local winemakers and a presentation of the wineries with tastings from Maison Ogier and Cave de Tain

- Guided wine tasting with sommelier Verena Herzog

Itinerary
| Day | Place | Arrival | Departure | |
| 1 | Lyon | - | 18:00 | |
|
What a city! Everyone should see Lyon if they have the opportunity. With its old town – a UNESCO Word Heritage Site – its narrow alleyways, rear courtyards, popular quays and large squares on the Presqu’île, as well as the more than 200 sights that are illuminated after dark, this city takes visitors on an extraordinary journey through different eras and cultures. And right on its doorstep, to the north-west, is Beaujolais. | |||
| 1 | Panoramic passage through Lyon's old town | - | - | |
| The Ijsselmeer is an inland lake that was created by diking the Wadden Sea and the Zuiderzee bay. This is where you’ll find the lovely little town of Hoorn – make sure you explore it during your cruise along the northern Rhine. | ||||
| 2 | Chalon-sur-Saône | 07:00 | 20:00 | |
|
In Chalon-sur-Saône, millennia-old history meets modern lifestyle and culture. Stroll through the old town, past charming half-timbered facades and right onto the square in front of the Cathédrale Saint-Vincent, which dates back to the eighth century. Then, enjoy a cool glass of local Chardonnay. The city is also known as the birthplace of photography: the Musée Nicéphore Niépce, a photography museum at the Quai des Messageries, is clear evidence of this. | |||
| 3 | Mâcon | 02:00 | 13:00 | |
|
Welcome to the French town of Mâcon, the capital of the department of Saône-et-Loire. Mâcon is also the southernmost city in the Burgundy region and the centre of the Mâconnais district. Many guidebooks describe it as the ‘Gateway to Beaujolais’. The friendly, almost Mediterranean character of Mâcon’s inhabitants is underscored by a veritable sea of flowers in the city. You are sure to enjoy your time here. | |||
| 4 | Tain-l'Hermitage | 05:00 | 16:00 | |
|
The Ijsselmeer is an inland lake that was created by diking the Wadden Sea and the Zuiderzee bay. This is where you’ll find the lovely little town of Hoorn – make sure you explore it during your cruise along the northern Rhine. | |||
| 5 | Arles | 08:00 | 14:00 | |
|
Arles in southern France is the Provençal city par excellence. This sun-drenched city of terracotta-tiled rooftops occupies a broad bend in the River Rhône. Many of its monuments have named UNESCO World Heritage Sites. What’s more, Arles was once a great Roman port. As if all that weren’t reason enough to visit, the city was also home to Vincent van Gogh for a while. Did you know that? | |||
| 5 | Avignon | 18:00 | - | |
|
Avignon is one of the most popular ports of call on A-ROSA’s Rhône cruises. It is an imposing, historic city in southern France that was home to several of the Catholic popes at one time. Make sure to visit the unique and unmissable Palais des Papes on an excursion to Avignon’s ancient quarter. The city and the surrounding region have a warm climate thanks to the Mediterranean – which means a pleasant stay for you! | |||

| 6 | Châteauneuf-du-Pape | 14:30 | 15:00 | |
| Just a couple of kilometres away from the Rhône, you’ll find Châteauneuf-du-Pape – a famous wine-growing region in the Rhône valley. The town’s main attraction is the ruin of the Avignon popes’ summer residence. | ||||
| 7 | Vienne | 09:30 | 10:00 | |
|
The multifaceted Vienne was once an important Roman city and, thanks to its location on the Rhône, the gateway to the heart of France. A number of ancient buildings from this period can still be seen today. For example, there is a Roman theatre, which is still used for events such as the summer jazz festival. There is also a very well preserved Roman temple in Vienne, surrounded by an impressive portico. | |||
