Yoga Bike Trip in Provence

Yoga with DuVine Adventures

Day 1, Sunday
Meet in Avignon, then take a short drive into the countryside towards the Pont du Gard which leads you to our luxurious Vieux Castillon for 2 nights. Enjoy a welcome toast with the region's sparkling wine during your bike-fitting, safety talk, and map review. After your long travels, a 2 hour Yoga session with Amy will awaken your soul. Tonight our chef will delight you with his creative presentation of true Provençal fare. His stuffed moules are not to be missed!

Day 2, Monday
Morning Meditaion. Then spin slowly into the scenic villages towards the Roman architectural wonder, the Pont du Gard aqueduct. This feat of engineering genius was built in 19 B.C. to carry water from the nearby town of Uzès to Nimes. Tonight our chef will delight you with his creative presentation of true Provençal fare. Enjoy an energizing yoga class after your great day of cycling and before dinner join the guides for an exciting game of petanque overlooking the Pont du Gard.  Accomplished: 20.5 miles with a mix of hills and flat spinning.   1h 1/2 yoga with Amy

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. Yoga/Meditation with Amy

Day 4, Wednesday
With so many fantastic sights in this area, we have an exciting day ahead. We start with a ride to the amazing ruins of Les Baux de Provence. We continue on, stopping to see the remains of the Roman village at Glanum and Les Antiquities. St. Remy, the birthplace of Nostradamus and inspiration for artist Van Gogh, is now a shopper's paradise and a great setting for our café lunch.  We will go back to the Hameau for a yoga intensive with Stephanie.   Tonight, you will experience a real Provence style meal in Mausanne.  Accomplished: 22 miles with hills that are rewarded by spectacular views.  2 hour yoga with Amy.

Explore the tiny villages and don't miss the photo opp overlooking the vineyards, cypress trees and les Alpilles as your backdrop. After our private picnic at the fabulous "Moulin Vignes Vieilles" with locals Jim and Dom, then loop back to Eygalières for a glass of pastis in the town square.  Tonight, we splurge with a Provence sampler extravaganza at Michelin-starred dining at Chez Bru in Eygalières.  Accomplished: 25 miles with hills that are rewarded by spectacular views.   1h 1/2 Yoga with Amy

Day 6, Friday
Morning Yoga.  After breakfast surrounded by olive trees, say goodbye to Provence however you see fit. Take a last loop ride around Eygalières.
