We think this is the perfect corner of Provence for a cycling holiday. It’s an area of great natural beauty, away from the tourist haunts, midway between the Mediterranean coast and Maritime Alps.

There’s varied cycling and not too much traffic; plenty of sunshine, yet cooling breezes; masses to see and do. You cycle through shady wooded hills, attractive Clochemerle-style villages, and discover “perched villages” with sites and monuments going back 2,000 years.

Everywhere, you’ll enjoy the typical scents of Provence, the fragrance from the region’s wild herbs, the tang of pine trees and the scent of lavender. And all less than an hour’s drive from the coast. All hotels are of a very good standard and in lovely settings, and all have swimming pools. Wine-tasting opportunities galore!
