We boarded A-ROSA Stella in Lyon, France, for a weeklong cruise in August on the Rhône and Saône rivers in southern France. The itinerary was gorgeous, with visits to vineyards, bicycle trips through the French countryside, fine dining, sunsets on the rivers and the chance to stroll through charming villages, cities and towns such as Avignon and Arles. Of course, the French wines, included at no extra charge as were all beverages, were refreshing and delicious.
