Day 6 continues in Lyon when we cap off our day with a lively sampler of regional Beaujolais, certainly the highlight for our wine lovers.

Our highlights today are a visit to the Palace of The Popes, and then the wine cellars of Chateauneuf – du – Pape. This is the most memorable part of the cruise for our wine lovers as these cellars are world renowned. On to Day 9 and Arles. Here a visit to the ancient Amphitheatre is a “SnapChat” prize winner.
