    Disembark your riverboat this morning for your choice of excursions in Avignon.

Once a fortress and palace, the Palais des Papes was a seat of Western Christianity throughout the 14th century and was most notable as being the location of six papal enclaves leading to the elections of Benedict XII, Clement VI, Innocent VI, Urban V, Gregory XI, and Benedict XII. Today, the palace is recognized classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its incredible architecture and importance to the papacy. Alternatively, put the pedal to the metal on a guided bike ride past groves of fruit trees and fields of sunflowers around Avignon and Barthelasse Island. Say your goodbyes to Avignon and enjoy a full afternoon of cruising highlighted by views of the passing riverscape as your ship sails for Viviers. Tonight, a "magical" evening is in store for you following dinner. ...

Next, try your hand at a game of petanque, played by tossing a small metal boule about the size of an orange. Alternatively, the Bollene lock is one of the most impressive navigation locks in Europe, often cited as a marvel of engineering; your visit includes an amazing look at river navigation. From the moment you step into this landmark of the Rhone Valley, you'll be taken on a journey through exhibits and displays which bring the story to life.
