Provence


Lavender Fields & Mediterranean Allure

Provence bike tours

Provence, France, is a land where history, culture, and natural beauty blend seamlessly.

From the Roman ruins of Vaison-la-Romaine and the aqueduct of the Pont du Gard (dating back to the 1st–5th centuries) to the elegant boulevards of Aix-en-Provence, this beautiful region is rich in heritage and timeless charm.

Provence has inspired artists like Van Gogh, who captured its light and landscapes on canvas. These days, it continues to enchant visitors with its lavender fields, olive groves, and world-renowned olive oil.

Nestled between the Alps and the Mediterranean and shaped by the Rhône (du Rhône) River, Provence offers a vibrant mix of history, cuisine, and natural splendor that few other regions can rival.

  • Why cycle in Provence?

    A Provence bike tour is the perfect way to experience the region’s varied landscapes, from vineyard-covered hillsides to medieval towns and sun-drenched lavender fields.

    Cycling allows you to immerse yourself in the slower rhythms of Provençal life, pausing in charming villages like St. Rémy-de-Provence to savor local wines and fresh produce.

    For those seeking a more leisurely pace, a Provence bike and boat tour combines scenic rides with evenings spent on the river, drifting past landscapes that have inspired poets and painters for centuries.

  • What are the highlights of Provence?
    • Beautiful historic landmarks - Roman ruins at Vaison-la-Romaine & Pont du Gard
    • Charming Provençal towns & cafes - Aix-en-Provence & St. Rémy-de-Provence
    • Artistic heritage - Follow in the footsteps of Vincent Van Gogh
    • Spectacular landscapes - Lavender fields, vineyards & olive groves
    • Rhône River - Rolling hills, verdant valleys & smooth sailing
  • When's the best time to visit Provence?

    The best time to visit Provence is late spring through early fall, when warm, sunny days and mild evenings create perfect conditions for cycling and sightseeing. In June and July, the lavender fields are in full bloom, while the fall brings grape harvests, golden vineyards, and fewer crowds.
