Jul 29, 2019 | Blog

Adventures always turn out great when you plan it months ahead and embrace the unexpected. Ignite the excitement now and book that adventure to the Rhône river this November!

This is not one of those usual Jewish heritage tours. This is an all-inclusive, and all-kosher river cruise that will take you through the Rhône river better than you imagined it to be. And to take the adventure another level higher, your challenge, should you choose to accept it is to complete the Rhône river bingo. Accomplish each one and you’re sure to have a great time during your adventure along France’s most elegant river.

High Five a French Bullfighter in the Roman Amphitheater

The Roman Amphitheater in Arles may be more than two thousand years old, but it’s still bringing the thrills for both locals and tourists in Arles. Bullfighting season is not exactly year-round, but the French Bullfighters can be seen there almost every day. Make sure to get a high five from one and maybe a story or two about their life of breathtaking thrills.

Dance With a Street Performer Near the Palais Des Papes

The legendary Pope’s Palace in Avignon is one of France’s cultural icons. If you’re seeking that authentic medieval vibe, and want an explanation for every historical inch that survived through the years, then this is the palace for you. Outside you may find street performers—singers, acrobats, and musicians. When you’re around, why not dance along to their music and enjoy the moment?

Have a Matzo in the Carriero in Carpentras

Taking a deep dive through Jewish history all over the world is what’s unique about the trips we offer here at Kosher Riverboat Cruises. In our trip through the Rhône river valley, we’ll take you from UNESCO to Jewish heritage sites.

The synagogue in Carpentras is one of the oldest in France. In there you will meet some of the most welcoming people in the world. You will most likely be guided to the bakery in the lower level where you must try their Matzo.

Snap a Photo With a Local in Viviers

It’s hard not to admire the vistas in Viviers. Take a step into this old town and instantly be transported back in time. The cobblestone streets, the warm stone houses, the secret passageways, and the gentle breeze through the entire area all spell tranquility and serenity.

One of the treasures of the old town are the artisans and the tradesmen who are still very dedicated to their craft. Learn the story behind all the beauty and talk to a local. To prove it to everyone, take a picture with them too!

Learn Something Deep in Tournon

This medieval town has seen many seasons and knows a thing or two about life lessons. During this point in the adventure, you can take a walk along its ancient streets. As you celebrate Shabbat in Tournon, take the time in this commune and admire the scenery outside your window. While you’re at it, contemplate and learn something deep and heartwarming.

Create a See-You-Again Pact in Lyon

As the cliche says, it’s the friends you meet along the way that helps you appreciate the journey. You began the adventure with a plan, and it’s time to keep it going with a promise. Create a pact with the new friends you’ve met on the cruise to see each other again on the next cruise. By that time, you’ll be amazed by how much has changed. You can even keep the adventure going by catching up now and then in-between cruises. Friendship alone can be an adventure.

And as you complete the challenges, don’t forget to shout out bingo! You just went through an exciting adventure. And with your friends by your side, you’re ready to take on more journeys in the future.
