Southern France is a feast for the senses. Small wonder that the painters of light and color - Van Gogh, Cézanne and Gauguin - came here for inspiration. Explore these luminous landscapes on a journey that celebrates the treasures of Provence and Burgundy. Spend two days in the delightful Provençal capital of Aix-en-Provence with its sunny outdoor markets and chic cafes. In the ancient city of Arles, board the elegant rivership Rembrandt for a seven-night cruise up the Rhône to explore remarkably preserved monuments left by six centuries of Roman occupation and to visit the glorious medieval cloisters, stone villages, and vibrant cities of Burgundy. Marvel at the world famous vineyards of the Rhône Valley and the dynamism of France's gastronomic capital, Lyon. Conclude your journey in beautiful Paris, "City of Light."
