River Crusing in France

River cruising provides exploration of all the most important sights and time for shopping on your own.  You can choose from alternate sightseeing options based on special interests, like food, wine or art.

Cruising along the rivers of France affords an in-depth knowledge of how this incredible county rose to prominence.  Winding your way down the Seine from the English Channel passing Chateau Gaillard, stronghold of Richard the Lionheart, taking-in the City of Lights - Paris, or meandering down the Rhone exploring the Place of the Popes in Avignon will enrich one's understanding of times long gone.

Avalon Waterways River Cruises gives you the freedom to customize your voyage to your own interests.
