In the background you can see the ruins of the 11th century castle in Les Baux de Provence. Even more amazing is that below me is a huuuge quarry that had been transformed into a space for immersive digital art, projected into the vast space. 😍

The @avalonwaterways Active and Discovery cruise on the Rhone keeps you busy with hikes, bikes and discovering the more interesting aspects of the stops. BUT there is also time for solo relaxation too. I've spent relaxing time on the upper deck. I've explore port towns. There's time to do what you want to do. Unless you get a case of FOMO that is. 😂

In all honesty, I experienced a ton of anxiety before this trip - my first international trip since Covid began. But, as soon as I arrived on the @avalonwaterways ship in France and saw the safety measures that have been carefully put into place, my mind began to feel at ease. . This was such a healing trip for me - exploring France, reconnecting with old friends and meeting new ones. . I highly recommend an Avalon Waterways cruise if you’re looking to get back out into the world of travel, safely and easily. They took care of all the details so I could just focus on relaxing and exploring.

I absolutely loved being on an @avalonwaterways Suite Ship with these epic views and being so well taken care of during my week on board. I’m normally more of a DIY traveler, but it really is so nice not to have to do all of the work of traveling yourself, especially nowadays. Having excellent guides found for me, the logistics of it all handled for me, and experiences I wouldn’t normally have thought of surfaced for me was just so nice. I was even able to get my Covid test for reentry to the US on board. More to come soon here and on @travelandleisure from my perfect week aboard the Avalon Poetry II 🥰

Do you remember the song from your childhood? Sur la Pont d'Avignon? Well that's the bridge! Today i was hiking the gorge, tomorrow I'm cycling in the morning and then wandering the town in the afternoon. Such a diverse itinerary. So many options. Cycling was just one of them for tomorrow.
