MORE DETAILS ABOUT THE TRIP

Montpellier is located in the lower left of the below map. From Montpellier, the bus took us to Sete where the Chardonnay was located. The boat followed the canal "Rhone a Sete" to Aigues-Mort. Between Aigues-Mort and St Giles the Chardonnay took the "Canal Du Rhone". Next the Chardonnay took the Petit Rhone to Arles. From Arles we took the Rhone to Avignon.

The map section on the far right shows the Rhone from Avignon to Viviers. The middle section details Viviers to Andance. The map section on the right shows the Rhone from Andance to Lyon - but we took the bus to do the route.
