Discover the picturesque Provence by bike
Provence is the Mediterranean France with air scented by “maquis” and lavender. The landscape and the unique quality of the light have inspired many painters. Roman history will accompany you throughout most of your days, with meals aromatic from local herbs finishing the cycle days in local hotels.
Picturesque Baux
Palace of the Pope: Avginon
Cycling through the Parc naturel régional des Alpilles
Amphitheater in Arles
Arrival in Avignon, Cité des Papes. Nice hotel 4* in the very heart of the city.
Before your day’s cycle begins you will have time in Avignon to visit the Roman monuments and the impressive Palace of the Popes. You will then leave Avignon along small quiet roads towards one of the most beautiful and typical villages of the region: St Rémy. Known for the heavily scented aromas of wild herbs. St Rémy was also where Van Gogh lived and Nostradamus was born.
Today you’re cycling a circular route from St Remy to Les Baux. The remarkable pilgrimage site of Les Baux was built on a 200m high rocky outcrop and is dominated by a ruined fortress. On the way you can enjoy a wine and olive oil tasting on a wine grower’s farm! Wine and oliven oil tasting. Wonderful landscape in the shadow of the Alpilles mountains on the way back to St Rémy. Stop in the village Les Baux de Provence and then last part of the cycle tour in a fantastic nature.
This day you will leave St Remy to cycle south, towards to the Mediterranean sea. Once you reach the town of Arles, perched on the side of the Rhône, take the time to visit the well-preserved amphitheatre, and the other countless medieval and Roman monuments.
After breakfast, it will be time to say “good bye” to this wonderful area.
