Christian Blondeau, France at Leisure’s Founder/Director is delighted about the response of Rugby Fans rushing to secure their cabins on this unique luxury Uniworld River Cruise and right in the middle of the best Wallabies 2023 World cup pool matches and hosted by France.

“With only 15 cabins and suites left, we believe with the travellers’ confidence coming back fast that the charter will be sold out in the next few months.”
Christian says “My wife Lisa and I who will be hosting this cruise are offering a meticulously planned itinerary to delight culturally curious travellers and lovers of everything France, on board Uniworld’s luxury Super Ship Catherine”.

This sailing from Provence to Burgundy is a dream come true for lovers of culture, history, haute cuisine, and romance of France.

During this lifetime opportunity in the middle of a World Rugby atmosphere, you’ll follow in the footsteps of Van Gogh on a walking tour of Arles and can choose to visit the beautiful and fascinating UNESCO World Heritage Site of Pont du Gard, the magnificent 50km-long tri-level bridge that was built in the first century by the Romans. Visit of Avignon’s majestic Palace of the Popes is also a must.

For the adventurous, there is much to explore by bicycle and boat, notably a kayak ride on the scenic Gardon River in Avignon, hike the steepest vineyards on the Rhône; and pedal through the city designed with bike riders in mind while in Lyon.

Experience “Village Day” in enchanting Viviers, including a recital of music composed by Bach and Handel. Explore unforgettable “Burgundy & Provence” where tradition is as deeply rooted as the historic grapevines on the hills.

Indulge in the richness of regional cuisines as you sail through the heart of this famous wine region in Provence to world-renown Burgundy wineries.

When dining onboard, you’ll be treated to world-class cuisine made from fresh ingredients, locally sourced from the destinations you visit. Learn about the gastronomic history of Lyon as you taste local specialties.
