This self-guided cycling adventure explores some of Provence's most picturesque and rural countryside. You'll get to explore vibrant fields and cycle through hidden hilltop villages, with ample opportunity to slow down and take in all the wonderous food and drink this corner of France is famous for.

Beginning in L’Isle-sur-la-Sorgue, known as Provence's ‘Little Venice’, you'll head towards the foothills of Mont Ventoux (the famous 'Giant of Provence' that features prominently in the Tour de France). The base of Ventoux is home to some of the most prettiest villages in Provence, including both Venasque and Crillon le Brave. With the imposing figure of Mont Ventoux never quite out of sight, you'll make your way through famous vineyards and wine-making towns before reaching the Roman capital of France, Vaison la Romaine.
