Day 1: Individual journey to Orange
In the afternoon you will meet the guide coordinator at your hotel in Orange who will give you a welcome talk and provide you with more detailed information for you holiday.

Orange is regarded as the gateway to Provence. Celts lived here before the Romans invaded and settled for almost 300 years. For the Romans "Arausio" which was the old name of Orange, was one of the most important towns in the Provincia Gallia Narbonensis. Of the numerous Roman buildings and monuments originally built, you still can see parts of the City Wall, the Arc de Triumph and the Theater, the stage wall of which the Sun King, Louis XIV, described as the most beautiful wall in his country.

Day 2: Orange - Vaison-la-Romaine (50-68 miles/80-110km)
From Orange to Vaison-la-Romaine the route is predominately flat. This stage will take you through some of the best vineyards in Provence, Chateauneuf-du-Pape, Vacqueyras, Gigondas, Rasteau and Seduret, just the names of which make the hearts of the wine lovers flutter. On the way to Vaison-la-Romaine you will pass the impressive range of the Dentelles de Montmirail.

Vaison-la-Romaine is a city with a rich Roman heritage. One fifth of the Roman town, then called Vasio, has so far been excavated. You can see remains of houses of wealthy Roman citizens, an ancient water canalisation system, the columned hall of Pompeius, a 2000-year-old bridge and an old theater. Vaison-la-Romaine also has a beautiful medieval quarter and some magnificent buildings dating from the 16th to 18th century.
Overnight in Vaison. 

Day 3: Vaison - Mont Ventoux - Vaison (47-65 miles/75-105km)
Today we have to face the giant of Provence - the Mont Ventoux. The 1909m high mountain rises abruptly from the countryside. In totally deforesting the mountian the Romans left the Mt. Ventoux with its characteristic bald appearance. Wind speeds of up to 250 km/h have been measure at the summit. The first road over the mountain was built in 1882.
Overnight in Vaison-la-Romaine. 

Day 4: Vaison-la-Romaine - Apt (approx. 90 or 110 km/56 or 68 miles)
Today you cycle on quiet roads to the city of the candied fruits - Apt. Crossing through the Montagnes de Bluye and d'Albion we reach the center of lavender cultivation, the village of Sault. Then crossing the Plateau d'Albion we will cycle downhill to Apt, nestled in the valley of Calavon.

Apt, situated on the river Calavon, is surrounded by numerous fruit trees. Here, since the 14th century fruits were picked, blanched and glazed (the preparation method for candied fruits). The results can be admired in numerous displays of the many pastry shops and of course sampled. Like most towns in Provence, Apt was also a settlement of the Celt-Ligures followed by the Romans. But in Apt, unlike other towns, the ruins are invisible - buried four to ten meters below the town.
Overnight in Apt. 

Day 5: Apt - Luberon - Apt (50-65 miles/80-105km)
The route today takes you into the Parc du Luberon and through some of the most beautiful villages in France. From Apt you cycle on a flat stretch to Cereste before crossing the Luberon for the first time. On the south side of the Luberon you pass typical small Provencal villages all with their preserved charm. On your way back you pass through the gorge of Lourmarin with is high rock walls.
Overnight in Apt.

Day 6: Apt - St. Remy (53-62 miles/85-100km)
The day starts with a climb to Bonnieux followed by a 10 km downhill run. On the other side of the Luberons you continue towards the river Durance. Through the flat valley of the Durance you cycle in the direction of the Alpilles, a small but charming mountain range between the Rhone and the Durance. The Alpilles (the small Alps), is fascinating because of its rock formation. About 300,000 olive trees grow in this area, from which one of the best olive oils in France is produced.

The old town of St. Remy, with its many squares and cafes, is an ideal place for strolling around and enjoying the provencal life. Here you find the whole myth of Provence in one place. Two famous people are closely connected with St. Remy: Michel de Nostredame, better known as Nostradamus, was born here in 1503 and in 1889/90 Vincent van Gogh was treated here in the "madhouse" after cutting off his ear.
Overnight in St.Remy. 

Day 7: St. Remy - Orange (53-65 miles/85-105 km)
First you cycle to the idyllically located Abbey St.-Michel-de-Frigolet, nestled in a low range of hills. Then you leave the Provence crossing the Rhone, and continue to Remoulins, where a trip to the famous Pont du Gard is an absolute must. Crossing the foothills of the Cevennes you cycle back to the Rhone and pass through the wine growing regions of Tavel and Lirac.
Overnight in Orange. 

Day 8: Departure 

Travel program may be changed because of local conditions.

Please note:
Mont Vendoux is closed till May 1st. (Depending on the snow). If it is closed we cycle around Mont Vendoux (and up to Le Chalet Reynard).

Feedback: Guided

"Overall, the week was great. I thought the biking was just as challenging as the biking in Tuscany we did last year. Biking up Mont Ventoux was very hard, but we both made it and felt a real sense of accomplishment at the top along with the many other people who were there who had biked to the top. The scenery/choice of routes was fabulous although the directions for our self-guided trip were not as good as we think they should have been (I have no examples). The villages we stayed in were a bit smaller than the villages we stayed in in Tuscany, so getting onto quiet roads didn't seem to take as much time, and we liked that."
