Provence 4-Day Bike Tour

Your guides will greet you at the Avignon TGV train station, and the adventure begins! A short transfer brings us to the charming town of Villars, where we will have our first lunch together followed by a bike fitting and safety briefing. Then, set out on a warm-up ride past vineyards and fruit-laden orchards, to one of the last Roman bridges in France. Continue cycling, admiring the region’s tranquil landscapes and timeless architecture before climbing to the pristine village of Bonnieux. Set high above the Luberon, this historically prosperous enclave once served as the summer residence for several Avignon bishops. From there, it’s a short ride to our luxurious hotel. Settle into your room, then spend some time relaxing poolside. This evening, watch the sunset over the valley during a seasonal feast at the hotel’s open-air bistro. Bon Appétit!

Today’s ride showcases Provence at its most idyllic. Winding along quiet country lanes, we’ll pedal past sun-warmed vineyards, silvery olive groves, and fields of fragrant lavender. Along the way, cycle through a trio of captivating villages—Ansouis, with its medieval stone walls, Cucuron, where centuries-old plane trees shade the lively outdoor market, and elegant Lourmarin, renowned for its charming cobbled streets and artisan galleries. In Lourmarin we’ll linger over lunch on a sunny terrace before deciding how to spend the afternoon: complete the loop back to the hotel for a satisfying finish in the saddle or transfer by van for a bit more downtime. The rest of the day is yours—take a refreshing swim, explore the beautiful grounds, or treat yourself to a massage at the hotel spa. Tonight, we’ll regroup and head to dinner at a delightful family-run restaurant with a secret garden terrace.
