Beaune – Belfort, France & Basel – Lucerne, Switzerland

wine taster cellar man

A mid-morning departure affords a little time for a stroll through the historic old town center of Beaune.    Then travel through northeastern France to the formerly fortified city of Belfort, and continue to the Rhine Port city of Basel, strategically located at the point where France, Germany and Switzerland conjoin. Basel is the starting point of the 700-mile-long navigable stretch of the Rhine River,  which runs through Germany and Holland, before emptying in the North Sea (Atlantic Ocean) at Rotterdam. Enter Switzerland and feast your eyes on the lovely scenery en-route to the beautiful Lake Lucerne region. Toward dinner time, we take a boat ride on the lake, followed by a ride up the Stanserhorn mountain by open roof funicular, for dinner in the revolving mountain top restaurant, while enjoying beautiful views of the Swiss Alps. If the weather cooperates, the moonlight descent will be quite spectacular.
