France: Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, Les Baux & Avignon
VBT’s Provençal trip leaders are more than just guides—they’re family! With our deep relationships in Provence, we’ve got the inside scoop on bike routes only the locals know. Cycle the majestic Alpilles, discovering the vibrant colors that inspired Van Gogh’s masterpieces. Experience a stunning spectacle at Carrières de Lumières—a theatre carved from an ancient limestone quarry. Enjoy a fragrant dinner in the home of a local friend (and consummate chef!) who will give you a new perspective on Provençal cuisine. Stroll the cobbled streets of Saint-Rémy and Avignon—and enjoy a wine tasting at Chateau de Manissy with another Provençal friend of VBT. Throughout your journey, you’ll find the sights, sounds, and flavors of Provence are more vibrant when seen through the eyes of those who call this region home.
Tour Highlights
- Delve into the imagination of artist Vincent van Gogh on a private guided tour.

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.
