The culture that gave us the creche is filled with countless other holiday traditions, as you'll discover during your Christmastime in the South of France River Cruise. Wander amid fir trees and artisanal goods in festive Christmas Markets. Meet a local family in a rural village and find out what they expect Pere Noel to bring. As you explore Lyon, Vienne, Tournon, Viviers, Avignon, and Arles, you'll sample Beaujolais wines, mouthwatering chocolates, and other regional specialties. Join us before Christmas and watch the region come alive with seasonal preparations while you finish up your shopping. Or choose select late-December departures and celebrate either Christmas or New Year's in France!
