France: Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, Les Baux & Avignon
Sprawling vineyards, river valleys, and alpine vistas… this picturesque route reveals the best of the region. Roll into Les Baux-de-Provence, a charming village set atop majestic bluffs. Trace the Durance and Rhône rivers along the Alpilles, pausing to wander cobblestone streets in medieval towns. Enjoy a spectacular visual and musical production at Carrières de Lumières, whose shows are set in an abandoned limestone quarry. Cycle through the gentle countryside that inspired Vincent van Gogh’s paintings and meet a local historian at the Saint-Paul Asylum, where the artist admitted himself. Stroll the Pont du Gard, an astonishing ancient aqueduct and impressive reflection of Roman architectural engineering. Feast along the way, indulge in wine tastings, home-hosted meals, and gourmet picnics. Discover why this tour surpasses all other bike trips in Provence, France.

Bike routes were beautiful and enjoyable! Loved the town of St. Remy and the location of our hotel. Really enjoyed Avignon and again, the location of the hotel made exploring the city very easy.
