France: Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, Les Baux & Avignon
VBT’s Provençal trip leaders are more than just guides—they’re family! With our deep relationships in Provence, we’ve got the inside scoop on bike routes only the locals know. Cycle the majestic Alpilles, discovering the vibrant colors that inspired Van Gogh’s masterpieces. Experience a stunning spectacle at Carrières de Lumières—a theatre carved from an ancient limestone quarry. Pedal a traffic-free bike path to the charming village of Chateauneuf-du-Pape—where you’ll sample the region’s exquisite vintages. Stroll the cobbled streets of Saint-Rémy and Avignon. Discover the medieval town of Uzès. Throughout your journey, you’ll find the sights, sounds, and flavors of Provence are more vibrant when seen through the eyes of those who call this region home.
Tour Highlights
- Delve into the imagination of artist Vincent van Gogh on a private guided tour.
- Roll through pastoral landscapes of olive groves, vineyards, farms, and villages, set against the lofty Alpilles.
