About Ride and More Travel
Today, more than ever, we need to be conscious about the way we travel, the way we consume, and the impact we have on our planet. Traveling by bicycle is not only eco-responsible, but there’s no better way to explore Provence and its landscapes, culture, and history. At Ride & More, we’ve been cycling our country roads for more than 30 years. Our local expertise allows us to continually create adventures off the beaten path, on safe roads, and accessible to everyone.
How Ride & More Travel was born
After a 20-year career in the hospitality industry and the luxury goods business, Christophe Piérard decided to return to his beloved Provence and give some sense to his professional life. A cyclist since he was a young boy, and a traveler at heart, at 40 years old Christophe decided to create and launch Ride and More Travel. Today, it’s the premiere local company that creates custom cycling vacations. Nothing makes Christophe happier than a satisfied guest, or a little thank-you letter after a trip.
Why explore Provence with Ride & More ?
Welcome to Ride & More, specialized in the design of cycling trips, for unforgettable adventures through the Provençal countryside. We’re based in the town of Pernes les Fontaines, in the heart of Provence. We all live – and ride our bikes! – in the heart of Provence.
Local guides who are passionate about our region
At Ride & More you won’t just find itineraries off the shelf: as locals we know the smallest of country roads here in Provence, and it’s with heart and passion that we custom-design every itinerary to give you a unique experience. We’ve all ridden countless kilometers along our remote roads, and have an intimate knowledge of our region, of its history, and lots of anecdotes to share. All in hopes to enrich your experience in Provence.
A small company
We’re proud to remain a small company: three guides and each with our own strengths, but the same determination to ensure you have the perfect holiday experience. We believe in ensuring that the holiday we design is adapted to your needs, interests, and fitness level. Entirely cutomized.

You’ll get a quick answer, or see one of us rapidly. We’re always available by phone to guide you if need be.

The best possible service, every time
We’re here to help, answer any of your questions no matter how insignificant, give you advice, and share the weath of information we have about the region: our tips for riding, our favourite cafés and restaurants, and visits. Need help with a restaurant booking? We’ll help, too!
Local advice, from a local
