A river and culture cruise on the Rhône
The MS Rhône Princess
The MS Rhône Princess sails along the Rhône and the Saône from Burgundy to Provence, between natural beauty, cultural riches and gourmet delights, amidst landscapes that are among the most beautiful and unspoilt in France. The MS Rhône Princess is a ship with four anchors, 110 metres long and 11.40 metres wide. It can accommodate 138 passengers, in 69 cabins on two decks. Each cabin is equipped with all amenities and offers the best conditions for a pleasant stay. The orange and chocolate brown colours of the furnishings and the gilded wood panelling and ceilings create an authentic, warm and inviting atmosphere. The restaurant on the upper deck, where all meals are served during the cruise, offers delicious cuisine in a refined setting where you can also enjoy the panoramic views through the large windows. The lounge bar with a dance floor is also located on this deck, while the sun deck, the ideal place to relax and enjoy the scenery, has comfortable deckchairs and a large shaded area.
Guided tour of Lyon
With its cobbled alleyways and famous traboules, the covered passages reserved for pedestrians, you can pass from one street to another beneath the houses. With twenty centuries of history, the city of Lyon has been created through the ages.
The city, which was the capital of Gaul under the Roman Empire, an important financial centre in the Middle Ages and later the silk capital and hub of European trade, has a rich history that can be seen in the numerous monuments that line the districts between the Rhône and Saône rivers. Lyon “la magnifique” also impresses with its lifestyle and its world-famous gastronomy.
