Cycling Holidays in Provence

Provence is home to many amazing architectural accomplishments, including the very beautiful medieval gothic structure, Palais des Papes. So, you certainly won't get bored of your surroundings while cycling in Provence, France.

Despite its popularity, you can still get away from the hustle and bustle and find your own hidden delights on one of our self-guided Provence cycling tours. Picture romantic tucked-away chateaux, bustling local markets and idyllic villages on a relaxing trip where all the logistics are taken care of.

In this region, nothing compares to the scent of the garrigue: a heady mixture of lavender, herbs and wildflowers that cover the hills. When you embark on one of our Provence cycling holidays, you'll be able to experience the aroma for yourself.

You'll make memories to last a lifetime here, even when doing some of the simpler things such as eating lunch under plane trees, shopping for vibrantly coloured arts and crafts and savouring the stunning panorama from the hilltops.

During our carefully crafted cycling holidays in Provence, discover pretty vineyards, olive groves and apple orchards as you cycle through country lanes and greenways on our Landscapes of the Luberon tour. Or you can jump on your bike and visit extensive Roman remains, UNESCO sites and wine festivals during our Vineyards of Vaucluse trip.

We've handpicked a selection of bike tours of Provence that encapsulate the region's stunning character best. Here are a few of the places you can experience as part of your self-guided cycling holiday.

Vaucluse

If it's the tradition and history of Provence that you want to see first and foremost, the northwestern Provencal department of Vaucluse is the place to experience it. Home to a number of notable historical sites including Orange and its most populus commune, Avignon, Vaucluse features a collection of delightful Provencal villages. These epitomise the wider region, along with a landscape of craggy hilltops amid stunning natural scenery.

For wine lovers, our eight-night stay in the area discovering the department's famous vineyards is one not to be missed.

The Luberon

Considered the heart of Provence, the Luberon region sits at the southern end of Vaucluse and extends in the Alpes de Haute Provence. It encapsulates some of the very best sights Provence has to offer, offering a wealth of lush lavender landscapes, word-class vineyards, and a collection of perched hilltop villages fit for the front of any postcard. As relaxing a location for a cycling tour as you'll find in Europe.
