Grand France is 2 cruises back to back. The theme of the Burgundy and Provance portion was a wine-themed cruise. This is one of my favorite cruises. It was great to visit and taste the French wines. The ships were older but in good shape. The crew was so nice and our cruise director was awesome. I am getting ready to go on my 10th Avalon River Cruise! Love Avalon!
