BOOK / ENQUIRE

At the mere mention of the word “Provence”, the imagination is stimulated. 

A cycling trip in Provence is the ultimate way of life: the scents of lavender and scrubland, the singing of cicadas, sunny cuisine wine tasting… An atmosphere that you will enjoy every single day during your tour. Visit the Abbey of Sénanque, the beautiful villages of the Luberon, the troglodytic habitat in Les Baux-de-Provence, the Pope Palace in Avignon, a morning market in Saint Remy de Provence. From the summit of the Mont Ventoux, the panorama opens onto the Alps and the Mediterranean.

Day 1 : Welcome to Provence

We will meet you at the Avignon TGV station at a predetermined time before transferring you to your hotel in Les-Baux-de-Provence. In the afternoon we will take the opportunity to introduce you to the program, adjust your bike and explore this wonderful fortified village perched on its eagle’s nest.

Meals: Dinner

Accomodation: Hotel La Baumanière 5* – Les-Baux-de-Provence

The ride around the Alpilles takes us to Saint Remy de Provence which smells so Provençal with café terraces caressed by the sun and a network of alleys leading to squares decorated with fountains.

Route: 50 km / 500 m Elevation Gain

Accomodation: Hotel La Baumanière 5* – Les-Baux-de-Provence

 

Today we enter the famous Luberon valley and explore scenic roads and perched villages. With its narrow streets and its intertwined houses brushed with ochre the village of Roussillon is a constant delight. Later on we reach the famous village of Gordes, perched on its cliff, dominating the valley and facing the Luberon. The village offers to the sun its cobbled streets where it is nice to get lost.

Meals: Breakfast · Picnic / Lunch · Dinner

Route: 45 km / 850 m Elevation Gain

Accomodation: Le Jas de Gordes 4* – Gordes

Nestled in a small valley on the edge of lavender fields, the Abbey of Senanque is part of its environment, between stone and vegetation. It is one of the purest witnesses of early Cistercian architecture. Nowadays the places are still in use and even inhabited by Cistercian monks as a place of retreat. The village of Fontaine de Vaucluse had the privilege of giving its name to the department (Vaucluse) which means the enclosed Valley, at the bottom of which mysteriously rises the Sorgue.

Today is the opportunity to challenge the Mont Ventoux, also called “the giant of Provence”.

We will transfer you in the afternoon to Avignon, the capital of Provence, a city full of history and life.
