Of all the French rivers, the Rhône has the largest water flow due to its Alpine characteristics.

museums, and much renaissance architecture
delight visitors.

The twin cities of Tournon and Tain l’Hermitage lie
nestled among vineyards between the Rhône River
and the granite slopes of the Hermitage.
A short cruise takes us to Tournus. Be sure to visit
the abbey of St. Philibert, which dates back to the
10th century and is a superb example of
Romanesque architecture. In 2002, while the abbey
was being renovated, electricians discovered a
mosaic portraying the zodiac under the floor
coverings—this is now available for public viewing.

(Disembarkation)
After breakfast, head by motorcoach to Beaune, the

houses, cobblestone streets, and historical
monuments.
Day 10: October 25, 2016 Cont’d
Chalon-sur-Saône – Beaune – Dijon – Paris
(Disembarkation)
Visit the HÔTEL-DIEU charity hospital, built in 1443

Cathedral, the unique Louvre Museum with its
glass pyramid as a contrast to its ancient
architecture, the commemorative Arc de Triomphe,
and the Eiffel Tower.

book another tour with Wendi & Ron, so that I
have something new to look forward too.
Until next time….
