all the way to the Black Sea. Journeys on these enchanting rivers bring you to magnificent cities, castles from yesteryear, and charming villages where timeless traditions remain intact. THE SEINE The Seine flows through the heart of Paris and continues westward through Normandy to the English Channel in an estuary between Le Havre and Honfleur. Highlights of the timeless countryside include Monet’s gardens at Giverny, the Normandy landing beaches, Auvers sur-Oise, last home of artist Vincent Van Gogh, and medieval Rouen, with its church dedicated to Joan of Arc. THE RHÔNE AND SAÔNE The Saône has its source in Northern France and meets the Rhône, which rises in the Alps in Lyon. The river then runs through Provence to meet the Mediterranean near Arles. These rivers pass through wine-producing areas such as Burgundy, and historic towns and cities, offering a wealth of artifacts and ruins showcasing their prominent role in the development of France.

THE GARONNE, DORDOGNE, AND GIRONDE ESTUARY The Garonne and Dordogne rivers merge together in a corner of southwestern France to form the Gironde Estuary that naturally divides the famous Bordeaux region into the Left and Right banks. One of the largest controlled wine regions in France, Bordeaux has several sub-regions, each with its own strictly governed appellation, unique climate, and terroir. It’s known the world over for its superb wines and gastronomic delights. THE DOURO From its source in Spain to its outlet near Porto on northern Portugal’s Atlantic coast, the Douro meanders its way through the beautiful Port wine countryside of the Douro River Valley. Here, traditional wine farms called quintas cling to the steep slopes of the river gorge and picturesque villages appear at every bend in the river. This is one of the oldest wine producing regions on Earth and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
