2 Night Cruise sailing from Lyon to Martigues aboard one of Croisi Europe's 2 Deck ships. Ships sailing this itinerary include Camargue, Van Gogh, Mistral or other similar vessels. Please check for further details at time of enquiry/booking.
Vessels in the CroisiEurope fleet are distinguished by the clean lines unique to them. Onboard, everything has been designed to offer maximum comfort. The lounge rooms and dining rooms are spacious and elegant and fitted out with the latest technologies. The functional, welcoming cabins are very well equipped (satellite TV, carpet, shower, hair dryer, WC). All vessels are air-conditioned with an independent thermostat for each cabin. The top deck, which is open to the sky and includes a sheltered area, is the ideal place to take the air, lying in the sun on a deck chair, walking from one end of the deck to the other, or sitting at one of the tables under the awning.
3-day cruise -Provencal Break:
Learn to appreciate the comforts of cruising during a Provencal Break. Between Lyon and Martigues, passing through Tain-l'Hermitage, Avignon (possibility of visiting the Palace of the Popes) and Arles (excursion possible in the Camargue) which will only whet you appetite for a longer stay.
Lyon
LYON is the third largest city in France, a long-established business centre - somewhat staid and very bourgeois, but not without its charms. Foremost of these is gastronomy: there are more restaurants per square metre than anywhere else on earth and the city could form a football team with its superstars of the international chef circuit. It also has a charming old quarter, and all the attractions you would expect of a city of its size (around half a million): a lively night scene and cultural life, including the famous Lyonnais puppets.
Arles
Visit ancient sites that are the ruined Roman aqueduct at Pont du Gard and the amphitheatre in Arles. This whole region is also fascinating since it was frequently painted by the great Post-Impressionist painters Cézanne and Van Gogh. The combination of gentle light and breathtaking scenery finds echoes throughout the art galleries of the world. Near Arles is Les Baux, a haunting medieval hilltop village. The many olive trees found throughout Provence provide a popular fruit and one of the important staples of the local cuisine, a fine olive oil used extensively in the cooking of local food. Garlic, though not exclusively associated with Provence, is used more here than in any other part of France.
