Finally a semi-relaxing day.  Our tour started this morning at 8:45am. We went to Beaujolais and learned all about beaujolais wine, wine making and sampled 4 wines. 
After this we went to the town of Beaujeu where we had 30 minutes to roam.
We got back to the ship at 1pm for lunch. At 2:30pm, we left Lyon to sail to Vienne. 
The sail down the Rhone was slow and peaceful.  We only had one lock to go through and arrived in Vienne at 5:15pm.
After dinner, they had a local singer come aboard.  She had an accordionist accompany her while she sang Edith Piaf songs.  It was very good. Off to sleep at 10p .
