the trip description
Not only does this bike tour in Provence take you through the most emblematic places, but it also makes you feel the sought-after atmosphere better than any other way. You start your bike trip in Avignon under the spell of the Palais des Papes and start to ride towards the vineyards of Châteauneuf-du-Pape to reach Orange known for its antique theater. You ride further to Séguret, one of the most beautiful villages in France, from where you can take a day-trip to the antique city of Vaison-la-Romaine. Your cycle tour through Provence leads you then at the foot of the mythical Mont Ventoux in Bédouin and Mazan. You ride on quiet country roads lined with olive trees and cypresses and cross beautiful stone villages, where the South French accent is singing. You then head South and go through the former capital of the county, Pernes-les-Fontaines, before falling under the charm of L’Isle-sur-la-Sorgue canals at the end of your Provence cycling holiday. Slow down to discover the authenticity of Provence and taste the many culinary specialities.

“ Formidable ”
On the 2018-08-21 by Jean-Pierre
En réalité, je n'ai pas imaginé que ce voyage pouvait être si agréable. Nous, moi et mon ami qui est venu spécialement des Etats-Unis pour m'accompagner dans ce voyage, étions ravis de contempler ces beaux paysages qu'offraient les itinéraires qui traversent les champs et les vignobles. Le choix des hôtels ainsi que des vélos et le service du transport des bagages montrent que les organisateurs sont des gens professionnels qui respectent leurs engagements et leurs clients. Je profite de cette occasion pour saluer toute l'équipe du vélo voyageur.
“ Génial ”

Première expérience de vacances à vélo et une belle réussite ! Très joli circuit, durée des étapes parfaitement adaptée à l’intérêt de ce qu’il y a à voir sur le parcours, Hôtellerie de très bon choix (catégorie B) avec à chaque fois une piscine pour se détendre de nos efforts, les tables ont toujours été parfaites. Le détail du parcours est très complet, suffisamment pour ne pas se perdre; toutefois, un recours à un plan sur le net nous a quelquefois rassuré! 1 semaine tranquille qui nous remet vraiment au cœur de la nature et de notre belle Provence !
