Home to many amazing architectural accomplishments - including the very beautiful medieval gothic structure, Palais des Papes - you certainly won't get bored of your surroundings during your adventure break in Provence. Despite its popularity, you can still get away from the hustle and bustle and find your own hidden delights on one of our relaxed activity holidays in Provence - picture romantic tucked-away chateaux, bustling local markets and idyllic villages.
In this region, nothing compares to the scent of the garrigue: a heady mixture of lavender, herbs and wild flowers that cover the hills. When you embark on one of our cycling tours, you will be able to experience the aroma for yourself. On a cycling holiday in Provence you'll make memories to last a lifetime, 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.
Discover pretty vineyards, olive groves and apple orchards as you cycle through country lanes and greenways on our Landscapes of the Luberon tour, or choose to jump on your bike and visit extensive Roman remains, UNESCO sites and wine festivals during our Vineyards of Vaucluse trip.

The Vaucluse is characterised by several things but none perhaps as much as the vineyards which cover the patchwork landscape and the ever present shape of Mt Ventoux, 'the Giant of Provence', silent and ever watchful on the horizon. This 6 night cycle takes you around the eastern side of the Vaucluse, where you will have ample opportunities to taste the local produce as you venture right up to the foot of the mountain.
