Tracing the Rhône from Lyon to Orange, this self-guided ride follows the Via Rhôna’s dedicated cycle path into Provence, balancing riverbank miles with detours into Gallo-Roman history. Days roll between terraced vineyards, orchards and nature reserves, linking Vienne’s Roman theatre, Tournon-sur-Rhône, Valence’s shaded gardens and Montélimar’s nougat traditions before the arches and amphitheatre of Orange. The tour leans into the Rhône’s role as a historic trade artery, revealing cathedrals, chapels and river ports as the landscape shifts from Rhône-Alpes to the scents and sun of Provence.
