Cycling Holidays in Provence – Stays of 5 Days and More

WHY CHOOSE CYCLING HOLIDAYS IN PROVENCE FOR 5 DAYS OR MORE?

By bike, you have the opportunity to explore our beautiful region at a slower pace, taking the time to appreciate the landscapes and its emblematic villages. Provence is known for its lavender fields, vineyards and olive groves, and an extended stay allows you to cover more kilometres so as not to miss anything of the region.
A cycling holiday of 5 days or more also gives you the time to settle into a rhythm. You wake up, you ride, you stop for a coffee in a village square, you take a different road on the way back. There is no rush. That is what cycling holidays in Provence are really about.
Our cycling holidays in Provence are designed to help you experience all these different landscapes in one trip — from the gentle plains of the Côtes du Rhône to the demanding cols of Mont Ventoux, from the hilltop villages of the Luberon to the fragrant fields of the Valensole plateau.

A TOTAL IMMERSION IN PROVENCE

Travelling by bike allows you to completely immerse yourself in Provence. With Ride & More Travel, you have the opportunity to enjoy a complete experience thanks to our concierge service for advice and reservations for restaurants or activities.
Over 5 days or more, you have the time to go beyond the postcard version of Provence. Along the way, you can stop at a local market in L’isle sur la Sorgue or Bédoin, enjoy lunch on a quiet terrace, and meet the people who truly live here — not just those who serve tourists. It is also an opportunity for you to interact with the local population and discover Provençal culture in a more authentic way.
Our team is available throughout your stay to help you adjust your route, book a restaurant, or simply point you in the right direction when you feel like going off-script.

THE BEST TIME FOR CYCLING HOLIDAYS IN PROVENCE

Provence is a year-round destination for cycling, though spring and autumn are the most pleasant seasons for long stays. From April to June, the temperatures are mild, the landscapes are green and the lavender is just beginning to colour the fields. September and October bring warm days, quieter roads and the beauty of the harvest season.
Summer is also possible, especially at altitude or on early morning rides, but we recommend planning your stages carefully to avoid the midday heat. Whatever the season, our team will help you build an itinerary that works for you.
