Discover a hidden Provence before sinking into a bed by the Med. Ranging the length and breadth of the Provencale landscape, this great cycling tour will immerse you in Provence. After a first relaxing evening and peaceful sleep, you will be transported to a slightly wilder and remote part of the landscape. It has an ancient history where people lived not just on the land but sometimes in it. Rolling over its undulating hills and down its wooded valleys, your ride will carry you every closer to the sea. Great cycling down quiet lanes and along hidden tracks is possibly the very best way to discover and unlock the heart and secrets of Provence. This tour is a mainly easy grade ride on most cycling days but has two more adventurous days in the middle Charting a wonderfully varied and dramatic course through a sometimes more remote and hidden landscape, you will be exploring the length and breadth of Provence. Short riding days allow ample time to explore the landscape and the small towns and villages along your route and, here are also ample opportunities to dive into refreshing waters whether rivers, lakes, the sea or your hotel pool. Three nominally ‘rest’ days make sure that there is plenty of time to explore in other ways but, with extra self-guided rides available, there is nothing to stop you staying in the saddle if you want to just keep riding.
