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.
Paddle through the breathtaking Gorges de l'Ardèche, a 30km limestone canyon rivalling the Grand Canyon in drama. Private canoe hire delivers solitude, silence, and jaw-dropping arch formations — a true bucket-list waterway.
Walk through an extraordinary full-scale replica of the Chauvet Cave, home to the world's oldest known cave paintings — 36,000 years old. Expert guides bring Ice Age art alive in one of UNESCO's most celebrated archaeological sites.
Explore the world's largest Gothic palace — the medieval seat of nine Catholic popes — on a private guided visit to Avignon's crown jewel. Monumental frescoed halls and secret chapels await in one of Europe's greatest fortresses.
Descend into one of France's most spectacular underground cathedrals — the Aven d'Orgnac, a Grand Site de France with jaw-dropping stalagmite forests reaching 30 metres tall. An expert-led descent into 100,000 years of geological splendour.
Stand before the Pont du Gard, the most awe-inspiring Roman engineering feat in the world — a three-tiered aqueduct bridge rising 49 metres above the Gardon River, built without mortar 2,000 years ago. A UNESCO World Heritage icon.
Explore Viviers — the smallest cathedral city in France — after other visitors have gone, lantern in hand, with a passionate local guide unlocking its 2,000-year history. Cobbled alleyways, Renaissance mansions, and a Romanesque cathedral await after dark.
