And that even starts at the holiday planning. You decide whether to go on board in Burgundy or in southern France. In the green heart of France or in the Mediterranean south, you will quickly escape daily stress with the washing waves of the water and realise that water is not the only highly esteemed liquid here: Both regions provide excellent wine, sought after all around the world. So it's hardly astonishing that you will glide along many vineyards and festive markets during your voyage. Drop anchor and go shopping or on a tour of discovery as you please. And when you then enjoy the fresh delicacies on board along with a tasty glass of wine from one of the nearby vineyards, you will understand why it is said that French are bons vivants.
