The bucket-list things to do — and who runs each one.
Here’s the bucket list for your day ashore: the most extraordinary thing to do at each stop, who runs it, and how to book it direct — so you can weigh it against your ship’s excursion and pick what suits you.
Board a historic steam locomotive and wind through the breathtaking Doux Gorge into the wild Ardèche heartland. This nostalgic rail journey is the single most iconic experience available from Tournon — pure, cinematic southern France.
Cross the Rhône to Tain-l'Hermitage and taste among the world's most coveted Syrahs and white Marsannes in the granite-terraced vineyards that inspired legends. Hermitage is a Grand Cru appellation of global renown — this is serious, bucket-list wine country.
Step inside the imposing 14th–16th-century château of the Counts of Tournon, perched on a granite cliff above the Rhône, for an expert-guided exploration of its Renaissance apartments, ramparts, and Rhône Valley museum collections.
Discover the extraordinary Jardin d'Eden just outside Tournon's old city — a lush, whimsical private garden that surprises even seasoned travellers with its botanical richness and artistic soul. Consistently rated the single unmissable hidden gem of the port.
Walk the world's first modern suspension bridge — built in 1825 by engineering pioneer Marc Seguin — then lose yourself in Tournon's medieval labyrinth of seigneurial lanes with an expert local guide. History, architecture, and Rhône views in one elegant morning.
Escape the Rhône Valley floor on a bespoke private chauffeured drive into the dramatic Ardèche and Drôme hinterland — lavender-scented plateaux, perched villages, and river gorges that feel a world away from the cruise route. Pure southern French grandeur.
