It's so good to live in the Provencal country. The mild climate, the gastronomy and the sea air all go hand in hand! It's not for nothing that Provence is a top vacation destination. Imagine Les-Baux-de-Provence - one of the most beautiful villages in France -, the impressive Pont du Gard, the Palace of the Popes in Avignon, and the numerous vestiges of Vaison-la-Romaine. Provence is the sun, the light and the colors dear to Van Gogh and Cézanne, the accent of Pagnol, the perfumes of lavender and rosemary, the bouillabaisse and the aïoli, the rosé and red wines, and the neverending evenings that we stretch out to make the fun last!
But beware... the Giant of Provence is never far away, and it is during your last day of cycling that you will be able to face the legendary Mont Ventoux, a mythical summit of the Tour de France which is presented as a last test to crown your trip... unless a free day at its feet seems like a better idea to you! With the Self-guided formula, enjoy your stay according to your desires, in total independence. We give you the itinerary, we book your accommodations and the rest is up to you!
