The Best Three-Point Trip Through The Rhône
by Kosher River Cruise Kosher Tour OperatorThe first recorded Jew in France, the ethnarch of Samaria, Judea, and Idumea, Herod Archelaus spent the rest of his life in Gaul, or what we know now as the French region along the Rhône.
While that sounded like a satisfying way to retire, it's important to note that Archelaus wasn't exactly kosher touring through the region. He was banished in Gaul even before the place had a chance to become the beautiful setting it is today.
The part of the Rhône that flows into the heart of France supplies eight percent of its electricity today. Apart from that, it is known for being the picturesque waterway that envelopes the famous wineries and the breathtaking views of the towns that it helped raised.
From wines to architectural highlights, the Rhône is truly a stretch you must explore if you truly have the heart of an adventurer.
There are lots to see, and a lot more to go to when you're around the Rhône. To narrow it down, here are the three places you should never miss whenever you're around.
The 2000-Year-Old Town
Lyon is the capital city in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. The fact that this old town sits right between the Rhône and the Saône rivers is a gift that keeps on giving.
A lot of industries have evolved in this town—the most famous one being the silk-making industry.
Today, Lyon is known as the heart of France's culinary scene; if you make it as a chef in Lyon, you can make it anywhere.
During the 9th century, the Jews in Lyon were the key people in the region's agricultural and commercial industries. Nowadays, there are relatively fewer Jews living in the area, Nevertheless, the Jewish roots of the town are still very evident in the buildings that are still standing there today.
The White Stone City
Avignon is called the White Stone City because of the architectural theme that is very common in the city. A quick walk around Avignon and you will immediately get the quintessential French feel—street musicians, romantic scenery, and aromatic Boulangeries.
Avignon is also known for its lavender fields and the Pont Du Gard, an ancient Roman aqueduct bridge that is not commonly seen these days.
Van Gogh's Magical Prompt Metropolis
Arles is known for two major things: being the subject of over 200 Van Gogh canvasses and the Roman amphitheater that is still standing strong to this day.
As timeless as these icons are, Arles' pedestrian promenades, the narrow streets that go through the city in an endless number of directions, the squares, cafes, and the historic museums also showcase France's best years.
If what you're seeking is a uniquely French experience that is not in Paris or other more common destinations, take this three-point trip that stretches through the Rhône.
The best way to complete this three-point trip is to do it while you enjoy kosher riverboat cruises, where you can go on meaningful day trips and come home to the best kosher cuisine prepared by a celebrity master kosher chef. That's a level of indulgence an ethnarch could only wish for.
