Bicycle Tours in France: Cycling Provence Plus! the Cevennes

Tour Details | Itinerary | Customer Testimonials | Further Reading | Slideshow | Map | Custom Tours

Classically Mediterranean, Provence has been a crossroads of history for centuries. Here, the vineyards of the Côtes du Rhône mingle with Roman ruins and tiny hilltop villages bustle with markets that have attracted visitors since the Middle Ages. It is little wonder then that artists and poets have long sought inspiration from the region's beauty. Our 11-day bicycle tour of Provence lets you take in the essence of Roman Gaul, the best of Cézanne and Van Gogh's Provence, a taste of the Cévennes Mountains, and gourmet meals. Beat the crowds and join us early in the season or come during the fall for the grape harvest. Either way, you won't be disappointed.
