Day 3,Tuesday
Morning yoga with Amy. Pass rustic stone churches through rural countryside, crossing the Rhône River. It's a beautiful climb up to our trademark picnic lunch at the Abbaye de St.-Michel-de-Frigolet. Stop along the way to see craftsmen hand-painting the tiny santons that have been traditional in Provence since the 18th century. The climb up to Les Baux de Provence has the most spectacular views in the region. Natural cliffs and lush greenery lead up to a ruined fortified castle rich in legend. We then ride on to a wine and olive tasting with the charming Valerie and Remy at Château Estoublon. We will relax by the pool and the grove of olive trees at the Hameau des Baux. Tonight is your choice for dinner; either join us at our local favorite or we can assist you in selecting another venue. Accomplished: 32.25 miles, through the countryside with climbs to Les Baux.
