Provence
Bike Tour

Saint Remy de Provence LOOP

Perched on its eagle’s nest, the wonderful fortified village of Les Baux de Provence gives itself impregnable airs. Explore its narrow cobbled streets and the remains of the castle and enjoy the charm of this corner of paradise as you listen to the old stones serenely recount their past glory. Les Baux is also home to the monumental Light Quarries (Carrières de Lumières).

The long option also takes us to Arles, a city of art and history, famous for its ancient remains from the Roman Empire.

Les Taillades > Gordes

We penetrate the world famous Luberon valley and explore scenic roads and perched villages such as Oppède-le-Vieux, Ménerbes and Roussillon on our way to Gordes.

With its narrow streets, its intertwined houses brushed with ochre, competing in colour and harmony, its galleries where artists and potters exhibit their creations, the village of Roussillon is a constant delight.

Gordes, perched on its cliff, dominates the valleys and facies the Luberon. The village offers to the sun its cobbled streets where it is nice to get lost.

Gordes Loop 

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. An enchanting site.

Gordes > Seguret

With magnificent views of the Mont Ventoux, this itinerary will take you to the Dentelles de Montmirail, Vaison-la-Romaine and other villages secretly nestled at the foot of cliffs such as Seguret.

Mont Ventoux Loop 

Today is the opportunity to challenge the Mont Ventoux, also called “the giant of Provence”. It is here that the Tour de France wrote its legend, it is the mythical summit that every cyclist dreams of conquering.  You can decide to end your ride at the top or to ride the way back to the hotel along the Gorges de la Nesque to finish this incredible day. 

Mazan > Chateauneuf-du-Pape

This morning we will follow the Côtes du Rhône Wine Route for a brilliant finish with a wine tasting in the famous village of Chateauneuf-du-Pape to extend our pleasure. The popes of Avignon contributed to the development of the Chateauneuf vineyard, From the papal fortress, superb view over the whole way we have accomplished this week.

We will transfer you to Avignon in the afternoon and explore this city full of history and life. From medieval houses and alleys to Renaissance mansions, through all its beautiful and old squares, city of the popes, city of art and culture, the Capital of Provence, is a small town that has all the characteristics of a big one
