Sample Itinerary
- subject to changes

WARNING
Despite all our care to update the description of our itineraries, there can be changes on the ground that are not reflected in the notes.
Roadwork occurs every year: signs can disappear or change, new intersections can form or change... Remain vigilant while reading the notes, paying close attention to the cumulative mileage on your bike computer and in the route notes. In case of a doubt along the route, be aware of how to return to that spot easily if you’ve made the wrong turn.


Day 1: Arrival
Arrival on your own in the medieval town of Avignon. Recognised for its beauty and rich history, we recommend you take the afternoon to walk the walled city. Highlights include the Place du Palais, next to the Place de L'Horloge and the ruined bridge of Le Pont Saint-Benezet over the River Rhone. There are lots of museums to visit and many cafes and restaurants for fabulous food and drinks.  
Meals included: none
Overnight in Avignon


Day 2: Avignon to Saint Rémy
Cycle between the Durance and Rhône Rivers, through a mosaic of orchards and cypress trees. You will arrive into the quaint town of Barbentane before climbing up on the “Montagnette” – literally “little mountain” – where your wide-sweeping views of the plains are accompanied by the scent of roasting pine needles and aromatic herbs. At the back of the Montagnette lies the monastery of St. Michel de Frigolet, built over eight centuries, with architecture ranging from Romanesque to Neo-Gothic era.
You then cycle through the charming villages of Graveson and Maillane before reaching Saint Rémy de Provence, an artists' town where Van Gogh spent the last year of his life.
Cycling about 35km +250m / -200m
Meals included: Breakfast
Overnight in Saint Rémy de Provence


Day 3: Saint Rémy to Maussanne
Leaving St. Rémy, you can visit Saint Paul de Mausole, where Van Gogh spent the last year of his life. Adjacent to the monastery is Glanum, a Roman archaeological site. Its massive limestone ruins are a testament to over 2000 years of history.
Your route continues along the winding streets of the Alpilles mountains through landscapes of pine trees and wildflowers until you reach Fontvieille, and Les Baux de Provence. Les Baux is listed among the most beautiful villages in France, a town perched vertiginously atop a rocky crag, crowned by the ruins of its feudal castle. Take your time to explore Les Baux before continuing to Maussane.
Cycling about 28km +1250m/-300m
Meals included: Breakfast
Overnight in Maussanne
