Europe Unveiled

France by River Cruise — Seine, Rhône, Burgundy & Bordeaux Itineraries


Listen Later

Ever dreamed of sailing through France? In this episode of Europe Unveiled, I’m taking you along four of the country’s most iconic rivers: the Seine, the Rhône, Burgundy’s Saône, and Bordeaux’s Garonne and Dordogne. Each itinerary offers its own flavor — from the romance of Paris and Normandy, to the food and wine of Lyon and Provence, the countryside charm of Burgundy, and the world-class vineyards of Bordeaux.

You’ll learn:

  • What to expect on a Seine River Cruise from Paris to Normandy — including Monet’s Giverny, Rouen, and Château Gaillard.
  • Why the Rhône River from Lyon to Avignon is a food and wine lover’s dream.
  • How a Burgundy River Cruise on the Saône offers intimate sailing and countryside charm.
  • Why a Bordeaux wine cruise immerses you in the Médoc, Saint-Émilion, and Sauternes regions.
  • The best pre- and post-cruise extensions to make your journey even more unforgettable — from Paris and Versailles to Dijon, the Loire Valley, and the French Riviera.

Whether you’re drawn to history, art, or wine, there’s a France river cruise itinerary that’s perfect for you.
