Anjodi’s Itinerary between Marseillan and Avignon

Sunday, Day 1 – Marseillan

Crew meet guests in Narbonne and transfer them by private chauffeured minibus to Hotel Barge Anjodi. Enjoy a chilled champagne welcome with canapés and the opportunity to meet your crew. Afterwards, guests may take a relaxing stroll around the lovely lakeside village of Marseillan. Visit a local oyster farm to sample fresh produce with fragrant Faugères while overlooking the oyster beds. Dinner on board.

Monday, Day 2 – Marseillan to Les Aresquiers

This morning we tour the 12th century Cistercian Abbey of Valmagne, renowned for the medieval medicinal herb gardens and some simply stunning architecture. Lunch on board. Afterwards, we cruise the Etang de Thau to Les Aresquiers, stopping at Frontignan for Muscat before mooring near the beach. Dinner on board.

Tuesday, Day 3 – Les Aresquiers to Aigues Mortes

We have an early start today as we cruise toward the Camargue National Park this morning. Anjodi passes flocks of pink flamingos and wild white horses on our way to the ancient walled city of Aigues-Mortes, which Crusaders built. Lunch aboard. Then it’s into the city to climb the 12th century defensive Constance Tower, originally built by Charlemagne in the 8th century. Our more energetic guests may wish to walk the one mile circumference of the town on the parapet of its walls, affording spectacular views. We take dinner ashore in one of the many local restaurants specializing in dishes of the Camargue.

Wednesday, Day 4 – Aigues Mortes to Franquevaux

This morning we cruise towards the Petit Rhone River. After lunch we visit Arles, the city famed for inspiring over 300 paintings by Van Gogh; explore the 1st century Roman Arena, St Trophime’s Basilica and the museum of Provencal life and stroll the pedestrianized sleepy heart of this old Camargue capital. Dinner on board.

Thursday, Day 5 – Franquevaux to Vallabregues

After an early start, we join the Petit Rhone and head upstream before entering the mighty Rhone river itself. Passing the fortified medieval town of Beaucaire and the citadel of Tarascon, we cruise to our mooring at the little town of Vallabregues. Lunch aboard. This afternoon we visit Avignon to climb the many steps to the Rocher des Doms, stroll through the Papal gardens and tour the Palais des Papes. Dinner aboard.

Friday, Day 6 – Vallabregues to Villeneuve les Avignon

We continue upstream on the Rhone before mooring at Villeneuve les Avignon, a short walk from the old city of Avignon and its famous bridge. Following lunch we tour the Château Neuf du Pape commune and enjoy a private wine tasting at a renowned wine maker before returning to the barge, perhaps for a stroll before the Captain’s Farewell Dinner on board.

Saturday, Day 7 – Villeneuve les Avignon

After breakfast, a private chauffeured minibus transfers guests to their choice of location in Avignon or to Marseilles airport.
