Provence Bike Tours
Lavender Fields & Mediterranean Allure
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.

“We loved our bike tour through the rolling hills and quaint villages of France. We especially enjoyed visiting the UNESCO Heritage Sites and wished we’d had a little bit more information on this history of the region.
Would it be possible to include some not so famous sites that are worth visiting on your map interface such as chapels, wineries or cafes worth visiting ?” Less

“We surely enjoyed this trip. The beginning in St. Gilhem le Desert was perfect - such a lovely little town nestled into the mountains. There were a lot of uphills and wonderful long downhills on quiet roads. It was a nice variety of scenery and towns. We were particularly grateful for our Ebikes as the hills would have been difficult and tiring without them. It was a most enjoyable bike tour all round.” Less

“A great sampling of quintessential Provence villages and sights... hilltop villages, wild poppies, fields of lavender. We thoroughly enjoyed all the scenery and activities along the way.
The first day of riding between Avignon and CdP was congested with car traffic (as to be expected close to a bigger city/area), but the other days were primarily smaller roadways and paths and very enjoyable and scenic. We did the add-on day to Arles and were really glad that we included that city in our tour. It felt complete to conclude the trip in Arles. A few of the gps routes lead us into the city center at end of day (instead of directly to hotel), but it was easy to navigate to hotels, and the gps tracks were otherwise very helpful to follow.
We opted for the self-guided tour but felt very supported by the local tour operator who was very responsive to any inquiries we had via WhatsApp.
We have many good memories of this trip!” Less
