Provence is a place rich in so many natural pleasures: succulent vineyards, aromatic lavender, Mediterranean sun, cherry-lined country roads, papal villages and full-bodied reds. Add to that an endless maze of dramatic gorges and the mighty Mt. Ventoux and you have fertile ground for French bicycling ‘at its best!’
Our Provence & Mt. Ventoux tour is perfect for riders looking for long endurance rides through incredibly scenic landscapes and a few tougher challenges involving Mt. Ventoux. Each day is filled with its fair share of sweat, relaxing and exploring medieval villages. On Days 2-4, you’ll have the chance to take the Mt. Ventoux Challenge, ascending this mythical mountain from all three approaches. Seriously ill athletes, can also run the hill!
Secret Fact: This is where we go ‘between’ tours for the diversity of terrain, slow living and warm Provence sun!
