Over five days of cycling, you’ll follow routes sought after by professional cyclists from all over the world. And there will be plenty of time off the bike to recover in historic, charming villages, rejuvenate on golden beaches, and marvel at the island’s natural wonders.

Lavender fields, olive groves, perched medieval villages galore.

You’ll cruise through Provence’s picturesque landscapes, from the ochre town of Roussillon to some of the most beautiful villages in France, like fortified Les Baux-de-Provence and the gorgeous hilltop town of Gordes. You’ll pedal to the medieval Abbaye Notre-Dame de Sénanque, speed down the canyons of Gorges de la Nesque, and end on a high note tackling one of the most challenging climbs of them all, the super-steep Mt.
