    • Two rivers linking two of France's best-known regions, which have long delighted those who appreciate the good things in life: Burgundy and Provence. All along the banks, you will encounter the same passion for wine, the same love of art and culture: Roman remains, Romanesque churches and abbeys, medieval castles, not to mention the colourful markets, their stalls overflowing with luscious sun-ripened produce. Between the two, the proud city of Lyon leaves no one indifferent, with its striking buildings, its silk-manufacturing heritage and a worship of good food.
