Denise on her Le Phenicien bicycle
The best way to spend an afternoon and get some exercise…cycling from Gallician to Aigues-Mortes! While onboard Le Phenicien on a trip to the South of France, I discovered that the 18-passenger luxury barge has a selection of bikes on board; whenever the barge is docked, you can take a bike and tour round the various towns and, of course, stop for a rose wine en route! During the trip I was able to cycle ahead of the barge, leaving from Gallician and arriving in front of the Le Phenicien at Aigues-Mortes. The cycle – with a stop for lunch – took me just around 1 hour and 45 minutes; such a pleasant way to spend an afternoon. I travelled along the canal path, which was very easy to follow and the scenery was so picturesque. On arrival at Aigues-Mortes, I could watch the arrival of Le Phenicien as I had left earlier than the barge and arrived in advance of its mooring.

France - Bull Herding
Having never been to the south of France, I was delighted that I was able to travel on our Provence River Cruise program onboard the 18-passenger luxury barge Le Phenicien. It is certainly THE way to travel; the food is outstanding and the service is second to none…a real home from home.

The day did not start well…Bill just made the train and I just didn’t! Left behind on a Paris station almost threw me and as he didn’t bring his cell phone I had no choice other than to try and find him at the other end, and in any case, I had the tickets! Unfortunately the next train took me to the City of Versailles; not the Palace, but luckily a well-marked tourist route took me on a pleasant fifteen minute walk through the outskirts of the city to the area around the Palace and the train station. It was a beautifully sunny September day and we were soon laughing over a coffee and some delicious pain au chocolates.
