Provence
Bon chic, bon genre
The Provence landscape inspires many cyclists who tour this southeastern region of France. Along the Mediterranean coast, a dramatic river delta is home to flamingos and wild horses. Inland sections offer spectacular views of idyllic villages and fields. Find the Alps and Pyrenees along the powerful mountain border with Italy.
Well-marked cycling paths use side roads with minimal traffic, with occasional riding on city streets. Spring and fall optimal for ideal for cycling here. Inns and restaurants along the bike routes offer regional treats and spectacular hospitality. A bowl of bouillabaisse or a glass of a regional wine will charge you up for the next leg of your cycling trip.
“Provence in fall, with white horses and rose-colored flamingos, amid golden hills, set the scene for fine pedaling. I knew the food and views of southern France would be amazing, but I had not anticipated the depth of history and art that would also surround the ride.”
