This six-day, self-guided bike tour allows you to explore the heart of Provence at your own pace. Running from/to Avignon but with the cycling beginning in either Bédoin or Mazan and ending in Roussillon or Gargas, this bicycle tour features relatively short daily rides, allowing you to fully experience Provence rather than just see it as you pass by. Provence is a wonderful region to cycle and this tour really does immerse you into the delights of the area.

  • Where does the tour start and finish?

    The tour starts and finishes in Avignon. Fly in/out of Avignon Provence Airport (AVN).

  • How long is the tour?

    The tour is 6 days long with 4.5 days of cycling.

  • What's the tour like?

    One needs a fairly good fitness level to fully enjoy this extraordinary trip: Although challenging Ventoux can be skipped, some sections involve some climbing.

    This tour can only be done by cyclists who can comfortably cover 45 to 50 miles (70-80km) per day with some climbs! Note, however, that the toughest of all (Ventoux!) is optional — an alternative route is possible via the scenic Gorges de la Nesque.

  • Can I have my own room?

    The tour price is based on two people sharing a room. If you'd like your own room or are traveling solo then a single supplement applies.

We did an self guided tour of Upper Provence. This was our second self guided tour with [the tour operator] and our fourth tour on bikes in Europe. [The tour operator]  is better than other tour companies by far: the bikes are in excellent condition, the routes and maps are well outlined, the GPS is very helpful and the hotels and food are excellent. We will definitely use [the tour operator] again!

My husband and I used [the tour operator] for our honeymoon trip to Provence and the experience could not have been better. The accommodations were great, the food provided as well and the itinerary was exactly what we were looking for.

A Wonderful Way to See Provence! [The tour operator] provided excellent equipment, maps, support and lodging arrangements. There were four of us biking through Provence during rain and sun and wind on a self-guided tour. All the people with whom we interacted were very helpful and willing to answer any question. I highly recommend them for any adventure.
