Cruise along the Rhône and Saône Rivers from the South of France's Mediterranean landscapes, through the heart of Provence to the bountiful vineyards of Burgundy. All along the way, you'll be inspired the way countless artists have for centuries. Think of Van Gogh's sunflowers or Cezanne's immortal landscapes. Become entranced by beautiful and culturally enriching cities and quaint, tiny villages.

Or sail along the Seine River from Paris to Normandy and back, and mix romance with nostalgia. You'll get a unique perspective of Paris, the romantic "City of Lights," from your cruise ship as the river goes through the middle of the city. Famous sights such as the Eiffel Tower can be viewed from your ship's deck, and in the evening, many of the city's buildings, including the Louvre, are beautifully lit.

Breathtaking scenery, captivating views and enchanting surroundings are plentiful as you sail north to Le Havre for a nostalgic visit to the beaches of Normandy. And all along the way, uncover why the amazing natural light and lush landscapes have attracted Impressionist artists such as the great Monet.

And for unforgettable an adventure, combine Burgundy and Provence with Paris and Normandy for one Grand France Cruise.
