As the Seine River winds its way through Paris and the enchanting north, it passes Gothic cathedrals and storybook towns that inspired the Impressionists. Meanwhile, the Rhône River journeys past the lush vineyards, ancient Roman ruins, and Provençal villages of the south.

With such rich contrasts, it’s no easy choice between the two. Fortunately, you can’t go wrong with either – both offer mouthwatering cuisine, captivating art, and remarkable scenery.

Here’s a side-by-side comparison of these iconic waterways!

Setting the scene

The urban buzz of Paris, the glamour of the French Riviera, the historic medieval streets, and the rolling fields each add their own magic – making every region in France a journey of its own.

The climate

Just like its scenery, France’s climate can vary, but no matter the season, the weather only adds to its charm.

Food & wine

Whether you’re savoring a rustic meal in a northern village or indulging in the fresh seafood from the south, France serves up fresh, flavorful dishes across every region.
