Wouldn’t it be lovely to cruise through France on a well-appointed small ship and never have to unpack? Viking River Cruises is still offering a 2 for 1 cruise special on 3 cruises in France:
1. Paris to Le Havre (Normandy): This one includes the D-Day invasion site, Rouein, Monet’s garden at Giverny, and the place where Joan of Arc was tried and executed.
2. Cities of Light: Paris to Prague (or Prague to Paris): right through the heart of Europe, including two nights each in Paris and Prague, plus cruising along the Roselle, Rhine, and Main rivers.
3. Portraits of Southern France: This one goes through Burgundy to Provence, visiting Roman ruins, the Papal palace in Avignon, lavender fields, wine tasting, and so forth.
The cruises include meals, guided tours, shore excursions, and some other expenses. They do sound like fun and, believe it or not, they’re starting to sell out.

I can almost feel the soft breeze off the river and taste the rich red wine of burgundy or the golden whites of Germany. Can you smell the lavender? The Normandy sea breeze?
