We will marvel at the lights of Paris, the capital of romance, and cruise through gently sloping hills and vineyards aboard the latest river ship added to Grand Circle Travel’s privately owned fleet — the luxurious, 78 passenger M/S River Chanson. Along the way, we’ll witness the lovely landscapes and enchanting villages that inspired the great artists of the 19th and 20th centuries. Get close to ancient history in Arles — a city known for its impressive Roman amphitheater and Corinthian columns. View ornate papal palaces, Gothic cathedrals, and medieval fortifications. And stroll the jet-setting streets of the Cote d’Azur’s premier Riviera destination — elegant Nice.
