France’s mightiest river flows through the beautiful landscapes of Burgundy, Provence and the Camargue, and is punctuated by some of France’s most historic cities and famous vineyards.
From the mountains of Switzerland, the Rhône flows to the Mediterranean and through some of France's best known wine regions. The Rhône winds through Lyon, famed for its amazing restaurants and silk works and travels through the heart of Provence noted for its excellent cuisine, ancient cities, lavender fields and landscapes of Van Gogh and Cezanne. Just before reaching the coast, it passes through the untamed Camargue delta region, one of the largest natural areas in Europe with wild horses and a raw, unpretentious beauty.
With castles silhouetted high over the river, it’s easy to conjure a world of feudal barons jealously guarding the slopes over which their crests and pennons held sway. This latest addition to Swan’s river cruise selection has a host of lovely surprises in store. Towns where minsters rise over manicured gardens, rocks where Wagner tales were set and half-timbered streets where French, German and Swiss each welcome the visitor.
