Day 5: Tournon and Viviers

My day began with more gluten free croissants, then a walking tour of Tournon.  Like the other cities we've visited along the Rhone River, there are remnants of Roman architecture within the bustle of the center of the city.

Next we took the Train de l'Ardeche into the Doux Valley.  This steam train is listed as a French historic monument.  And it is a conservation area inaccessible by road.  The vibration of this open air train made it very difficult to take photos, but we tried!

Another afternoon of relaxed cruising:

And some on-board activities - a cooking demonstration led by our Greek chef and Bulgarian maitre de:

Followed by a ridiculous number of desserts (but these macarons have been one of our favorites)

We reached port at Viviers in the evening and went on a walking tour of the city at night.  It was a strange excursion - lovely and refreshing to walk a city at night, but harder to walk because of the cobblestone, and difficult to take any photos.
