Overview


An Invitation Like No Other!

Here is a rare opportunity to travel to France, one of the world’s great fashion capitals, and discover how style, art, and craft come together.

Your French adventure will include an elegant river cruise through the celebrated Burgundy wine region, a landscape where rolling vineyards and historic towns blend seamlessly into a storybook setting. Along the way, you will indulge in expertly curated wine tastings that showcase the region’s most renowned vintages—each sip revealing the character of Burgundy’s storied terroir.

Picture yourself strolling cobblestone streets in Seurre, discovering the timeless charm of Tournus and its Romanesque abbey, exploring the vibrant markets of Chalon-sur-Saône, and savoring the cultural sophistication of Lyon, the gastronomic capital of France. Between ports, relax on board as the Saône River carries you past elegant châteaux, lush countryside, and ancient villages that have inspired winemakers for centuries.
