Take-A-Boo likes IOL Travel Editor Carol Lazar’s first person account of river cruising through the south of France

Carol Lazar’s article   from South Africa’s IOL features an informative first person account of river cruising through the south of France.

Liked her tip about bringing binoculars to spy the scenery passing by. We’ll make sure we remind our group to do the same.

Carol headed from Lyon south to Avignon. On our ten-day Provence adventure, we’ll head north from Avignon to Chalon-sur-Saône with a three -night stop over in Paris, so we can visit Les Puces de Saint-Ouen. We’ll visit some of the same places as Carol did – Chalon, Lyon, Tournon, Arles and Avignon, but we’ll be hitting antique shops, flea markets and wineries  and a few other destinations along the way cruising aboard the Conde Nast Traveler rated Viking Cruise Lines.

Take-A-Boo Emporium Agrees With Conde Nast Traveler Readers Who Voted Viking River Cruises to “Top Ten”

Happy to see that Conde Nast Traveler Readers Voted Viking River Cruise Lines  to ‘Top 10 Small Ship Cruise Lines’ in 2006 Annual Survey.

Why? Because we’ll be setting sail in August 2007 on their Viking Burgundy, 152 person passenger ship to lead a group of 30 travelers through the glorious south of France on an antiquing adventure.  It’ll be fun filled days sailing along the Saône and Rhône Rivers capped off with 3 days in Paris. We’ll be antiquing along the way (guided by my better half, antique expert Martin Swinton), visiting wineries and soaking up the best of Provence.  Next summer can’t come too soon, I say.
