About this trip
Eight days cycling through Provence, moving between hilltop villages, vineyards and historic towns at your own pace on two wheels.
You will pass Roman ruins, follow roads Van Gogh once painted, and stop at chateaux along the way, with plenty of time built in to taste the region's wine and food rather than just cycle past it.
Base towns include Avignon, Chateauneuf du Pape and St Rémy de Provence, each with its own character and history to explore once you are off the bike.
What you'll do
- Cycle through vineyards and hilltop villages across Provence
- Explore Avignon's museums and galleries, once home to the pope
- Taste wine at the source in Chateauneuf du Pape
- Wander St Rémy de Provence, where Van Gogh once lived
- See Roman ruins along the route
- Visit chateaux tucked into the Provençal countryside
- A cycling-focused trip — expect daily riding between towns rather than a bus-based itinerary
- Fully guided, so route and pace are managed for you as a group
Worth it if you're a cycling novice or want e-bike support and skilled guide-led discovery. Think twice if you're experienced and crave pace over stops.
- Guides Julien and Erwin consistently praised for attentiveness, local knowledge, wine recommendations, and building group cohesion throughout.
- Two-hotel base structure allows proper recovery and deeper local exploration rather than constant packing and moving.
- One reviewer found pace heavily restricted to 12km/h with frequent stops, feeling controlled rather than free to ride.
- E-bikes strongly recommended for non-avid cyclists; rolling terrain proves harder than expected without electric assistance.
