Mam Goz

In the afternoon, you will be met by a crew member of the Mam Goz at the designated meeting point. From here, relax as you are chauffeured to the barge, moored at Sète. A traditional champagne welcome and introduction to the crew awaits you, before your first gourmet dinner onboard.

A morning cruise begins the adventure. Laze on deck with a freshly brewed cup of coffee and watch the southern scenery slip by. Once docked, explore the lively seaside town of Palavas-les-Flots, a seaside resort frequented for its mild Mediterranean climate and sun-drenched beaches. Al fresco cafes and ice cream parlors line the lively avenues, while specialty shops and souvenir stores are perfect for browsing. A restored church in the center of town offers historical ballast. Back onboard, drinks and dinner await.

A morning cruise through rustic landscapes of the Coteaux du Languedoc is the perfect time to visit your Captain in his wheelhouse or socialize in the salon. This afternoon, the pretty city of Aigues-Mortes beckons for strolling and shopping. Founded by King Saint-Louis, its ruins and ramparts offer fascinating insight into the region's history. Then, a short drive to a family-owned Domaine culminates with samplings of their organic wines. Return to the barge for aperitifs and appetizers before Chef presents tonight's dinner.

Greet the day with croissants and coffee during an early morning cruise. Following lunch, arrive to the mooring in the ancient Roman city of Arles, with its many historical sites under the protection of the UNESCO World Heritage recognition. Walk ashore in the footsteps of Vincent van Gogh during a guided tour of the city. Once a provincial capital of ancient Rome, Arles is also known for many remains from that era, including the impressive Arles Amphitheatre. Return to the barge where cocktail hour precedes tonight’s gourmet dinner.

An early morning visit to the weekly “Marché Provençal” reveals stalls full of seasonal fruits, colorful vegetables, and handmade cheeses. After a mid-morning cruise, your Tour Guide escorts you to the lively Provencal town of St Remy for an afternoon stroll, and then a tasting at the olive farm of Moulin de Castelas showcases the area's delicious olive oil. Then, discover Les Baux-de-Provence, an medieval village with small squares, shady terraces, and an imposing fortress. Chef serves tonight's gourmet dinner onboard.

Relax on deck as the Mam Goz plies the mighty River Rhone this morning. Upon mooring, your Tour Guide escorts you into the lively city of Avignon, home of the Papacy from 1309-77. After a bistro lunch ashore, a walking tour highlights architectural icons such the Palais des Papes, one of the largest Gothic buildings in Europe, reflecting its importance as the seat of Western Christianity during this time. Return to the Mam Goz and join friends both old and new for cocktails and canapes before Chef presents tonight's Farewell Feast.

In the morning after breakfast, you will be chauffeured to the designated drop off point.
