Cycling the Pearls of Provence

From bustling Avignon and the Palais des Papes, you will cross lush orchards and wine estates including the famous Châteauneuf du Pape, Gigondas and Beaumes de Venise. Your route offers you breathtaking views of the Dentelles de Montmirail and the majestic Mont Ventoux. A network of quiet roads with little traffic takes you from village to village as you discover the local architecture and cultural heritage. Further south, you reach the white rocks of the Parc des Alpilles before heading towards the medieval perched city of Les Baux de Provence, listed as one of the most beautiful villages in France. To finish the week, you gently descend to the ancient city of Arles, whose historic centre is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. 

The routes are gentle and accessible for beginners, and each day provides an opportunity for additional cycling, so the tour is suitable for intermediates as well.
