Day Six

Take day six to drive to the south of France. You might consider a visit to Lyon, France’s second largest city. There are beautiful vineyards and wineries, and many of them are available for touring if you want to stop. Your end destination is the region of Provence, the hearty, rich, luscious part of France made famous in recent years for its sunny hospitality and vibrant spirit.

 

Thanks to early Greek and Roman settlements in the area, there are plenty of ruins to explore. Some of the most interesting towns are Avignon, Les Baux, and Arles. Plan on dining in a local bistro, and savor the homey French countryside before you hit the glamorous beaches of the French Riviera tomorrow.
