Between the Sea and the Mountains
Welcome to Provence, where the air is mild but the hills are anything but! Starting in Nice, discover the charm of Provence as you ride alongside endless lavender fields and small villages with terracotta-colored stone houses.
Sisteron and its Rocher de la Baume will take your breath away, as will the arrival in Moustiers-Sainte-Marie, one of the most beautiful villages in France, where the surrounding mountains overlooking the village seem to watch over the residents of Moustiers.
In Provence, every glance holds a surprise, a story, a source of wonder. The only thing missing is you!
