Overview

Provence Bike & Boat moves at an easy cadence between Avignon and the walled port of Aigues-Mortes, pairing steady daily rides with relaxed hours on a comfortable barge. Routes of 30–65km follow cycle paths and quiet roads through olive groves, vineyards and the Camargue’s marshes and lagoons, with rolling hills north of Arles and one taxing ascent to hilltop Les Baux. Tastings at a winery and an oil producer add local detail. En-suite cabins, mostly included meals, and hot drinks and water available on board set an unhurried rhythm suited to riders seeking varied terrain without constant unpacking.
