Provence Gastronomic Cycling

Cycling in France: Provence Gastronomic Cycling
  • Wonderfully varied hotels, most with private pools, gastronomic cuisine throughout
  • Easy unspoilt cycling, interest-packed routes on Provençal plains and foothills
  • Mediaeval Seguret: one of the prettiest villages in France
  • France’s most extensive Roman site - dating to 2,500BC - at Vaison-la-Romaine
  • World-famous Côtes de Rhone vineyards: Gigondas, Beaumes-de-Venise, Cairanne

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 Châteauneufdu- Pape 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 mostly familyrun, pride themselves on their Provençal cuisine and cellars full of fine local wines - one is in the heart of the world-famous Beaumes de Venise vineyards.
