In the afternoon we will take the opportunity to introduce you to the program, adjust your bike and explore this beautiful city which smells of Provence: café terraces caressed by the sun, a network of alleys leading to squares decorated with fountains… not to mention the Roman ruins, nestled at the foot of the limestone hills, witnesses of a rich past. This painting does not fail to seduce the artists who settle here in great numbers, following in the footsteps of Van Gogh and the composer Charles Gounod.

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.
