The Gothic Art that adorns many Romanesque buildings is not only aesthetically appealing but also reminiscent of the 12th century and the medieval art movement. From sculptures and panel paintings to stained glass and illuminated manuscript, enjoying the arts is almost synonymous with any trip to France. Part of our themed cruises, travelers interested in the French Arts are encouraged to have their itineraries tailor-made to include interests like painting, or any other type of special interest they may enjoy.
Just boarding one of our luxury vessels ensures your interaction with the arts; however, some regions immerse travelers into the history of the Roman Empire -- undoubtedly the most influential empire of Western culture and a huge contributor to the arts. Enjoy monumental
and famous art works like the Amphitheater in Orange, Vaucluse, the "Maison
Carr�e" at N�mes, the Pont du Gard Aqueduct, and the Roman baths are all visited by barge cruises leaving from Provence or Southern France.
