Freewheeling & cycling through the Luberon and lavender fields

This self guided Provence cycling trip starts in the quaint town of Isle sur la Sorgue - the Venice of Provence - famous for its Sunday market. You explore the famous Luberon; the magnificent perched villages of Venasque, Gordes, Bonnieux, and Lacoste. Roussillon, and the world’s largest ochre deposit.

During this self guided bike tour, you discover an "off-the-beaten track side" of the Luberon, just above Bonnieux, with its lavender fields and its hidden villages. (lavender is blooming between mid June and mid July). You ride through a paradise of rolling hills and small back roads, along diverse landscapes of vineyards, olive trees and cherry orchards.
