\"Bicycling<\/a>

We bicycled everyday of our voyage on A-ROSA Stella. \u00a9 2013 Ralph Grizzle<\/p><\/div>\n

We boarded\u00a0A-ROSA Stella<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>in Lyon, France, for a weeklong cruise in August\u00a0on the Rh\u00f4ne and Sa\u00f4ne 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.<\/p>\n
