Holiday introduction

  • Wonderfully varied hotels, most with private pools, regional cuisine throughout
  • Easy unspoilt cycling, interest-packed routes on Provencal plains and foothills
  • Colourful Provencal markets, numerous wine festivals, some of the prettiest villages in France
  • France's most extensive Roman site - dating to 2,500BC - at Vaison-la-Romaine
  • World-famous Cotes du Rhone vineyards: Gigondas, Beaumes-de-Venise, Cairanne, Vacqueyras

Dramatic Mont Ventoux and the lacy silhouette of the Dentelles de Montmirail dominate the skyline on this Provence cycling holiday. You get the best of both worlds - breathtaking scenery all around combined with easy pedalling on plains and gentle foothills dotted with lavender, orchards and the famous Cotes du Rhone vineyards.

The area is steeped in history. Originally Celtic, it was conquered by the Romans and is now rich in well-preserved Roman remains, especially at Orange and Vaison-la-Romaine where the large site is comparable to Pompeii.

We've arranged specially good evening meals for you with opportunities to sample both gourmet and local delicacies. Our hotels, which are all family-run, pride themselves on their Provencal cuisine and cellars full of fine local wines - one is in the heart of the world-famous Beaumes de Venise vineyards.

We're probably a little biased, so here's what our customers say...

"A holiday without worries. Great experience."
Ms Hickson, Australia

"Before, during and after, customer care is highly considered and the holidays (our 10th with you) are exactly as it says on the tin, which is always expected and not always achieved by other companies."
Mr Tait, Glasgow
