Crusing the Rhone River, Avignon

We left Monte Carlo and bussed to Nice for a quick lunch break before meeting the Swiss Emerald, our river boat, at Arles. The internet connection on the boat was a satalite connection and very slow, so we have waited until we were in Paris to work on the blog. The first stop out of Arles was to Avignon and the Cellars of Chateau Nuf du Pap. This old winery has been in existance since the Roman times and produces both Chardonney and Granache wines. Pictured are a unique double decker ferris wheel in Avignon, Georgia and I at Chateau Nuf du Pap, the winery wine cave, the cave store, and a stone wine vat from the Roman times.
