Bicycling the Best of Provence

Begin your journey in the ancient Roman city of Arles, located on the banks of the Rhône River. After getting your bikes fitted, take a short test ride to explore the city's well-preserved Roman theater and arena. End the day with a special introductory meal in a local chef's home.

Start your day exploring one of the largest outdoor markets in France in Arles. Then, take a scenic ride to the charming town of St Remy. In the afternoon, you can explore St Remy or take an extra loop ride through quaint medieval Provençal towns including Maillane, the home of the Nobel Prize-winning writer Frédéric Mistral.

Today, you'll ride to Les-Baux-de-Provence, taking in the views that inspired Van Gogh during his residence in St Remy. In the afternoon, explore the Roman ruins of Glanum, visit Van Gogh's sanitarium, or enjoy some shopping in town.

Start the day with an olive oil tasting at a local press near St Remy. Then, cross the Rhône at Tarascon, where you can visit a perfectly preserved 15th-century castle. Continue north to the Pont du Gard, a remarkable Roman ruin, before ending the day in the beautiful town of Uzès, where you'll stay for the next two nights.

Spend the day at your leisure in the medieval town of Uzès. You can choose to take a loop ride through the rolling vineyards or spend the day exploring the town's cobblestone alleyways. Don't miss the central Place aux Herbes, where you'll find quaint cafés, restaurants, and shops offering the sunny flavors of Provence.

Leave Uzès and head to St Quentin la Poterie, a town known for its pottery making tradition. Continue to the heart of the Côtes du Rhone vineyards, including the renowned Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Enjoy a café lunch or a picnic at the castle, a former summer palace of the Avignon Popes, before heading to Séguret, your home for the next two nights.

Choose to relax at the hotel or pedal to Vaison-la-Romaine and the nearby wine villages. Vaison offers insights into Roman and medieval life with its ruins, archaeological museum, and castle. For those seeking a challenge, there's the opportunity to climb Mont Ventoux, the most famous Tour de France climb.
