Paradisiacal experience in Provence
Provence is the Mediterranean France with air scented by “maquis” and lavender. The landscape and the unique quality of the light have inspired many painters. Roman history will accompany you throughout most of your days, with meals aromatic from local herbs finishing the cycling days in local hotels.

Palais des Papes in Avignon

Time to visit the Roman monuments in Orange, the theatre is one of the best preserved of all its kind in France.
Day 2 Orange – Uzès 54 km
Beautiful landscapes, orchards, vineyards from the famous Côte du Rhône (Lirac, Laudan) to St Laurent. Arriving at this charming medieval village, overlooking the Alzon Valley, Uzès is a typical Provencal Village with a wonderful market place.
Small peaceful roads will take you to the spectacular site of Pont du Gard, considered one of the wonders of the ancient world. The Roman aqueduct was built to carry water across the River Gardon to the City of Nimes.
Your day will end in the beautiful walled city of Avignon.
Before your day’s cycle begins you will have time in Avignon to visit the Roman monuments and the impressive Palace of the Popes. You will then leave Avignon along small quiet roads towards one of the most beautiful and typical villages of the region: St Rémy. Known for the heavily scented aromas of wild herbs. St Rémy was also where Van Gogh lived and Nostradamus was born. The wines from Les Baux have recently been granted appellation status. You can enjoy the end of the day in the romantic small streets and squares of St Rémy.
Today you’re cycling a circular route from St Rémy to Les Baux. The remarkable pilgrimage site of Les Baux was built on a 200m high rocky outcrop and is dominated by a ruined fortress. This wonderful landscape in the shadow of the Alpilles mountains is one of the areas which inspired Van Gogh for many of his paintings.
This day you will leave St Rémy to cycle south, towards to the Mediterranean sea. Once you reach the town of Arles, perched on the side of the Rhone, take the time to visit the well-preserved amphitheatre, and the other countless medieval and Roman monuments.
Your ride today will take you past Mejanes and on towards the Mediterranean by the protected region of the Camargue. Here you well see the majestic white horses and Flamingos that roam the countryside.
