Planning & itinerary
20 - 24 May 2026
A relaxed yet rewarding week where we explore Provence together. We mix vineyard roads, quiet gorges and one memorable day on Mont Ventoux. Mornings are for riding, afternoons for stories, terraces and excellent coffee.
Arrival, check-in & bike set-up.
We welcome you in Marseille or Avignon and head straight to our Provençal base. After bikes are prepared, we gather on the terrace for a relaxed apéritif and get to know the group.
Dinner follows in the village, the perfect start to a week of riding, sharing stories and settling into the warm rhythm of Provence.
65 km | 900 m+
We ease into the week with a rolling route through vineyards, stone villages and quiet lanes. The pace is steady, perfect for chatting, taking photos and easing winter legs back into summer.
Our afternoon finishes with a private tasting in Châteauneuf du Pape, a moment where good wine and good company remind us why cycling holidays matter.
100 km | 1,900 m+
Today we take on Mont Ventoux from Bédoin, the classic route every rider knows by name. We climb together at a friendly pace, supported by our guides and vehicle all the way to the summit.
After photos and well-earned snacks, we descend towards Sault and enjoy a long Provençal lunch. The day ends with big smiles, shared stories and a sense of togetherness only a climb can create.
70 km | 800 m+
Our final ride takes us through the Gorges de la Nesque, one of Provence’s quiet cycling gems. The scenery is spectacular and the gradients gentle, perfect for enjoying the morning.
We return for a relaxed lunch and free afternoon to explore the village or join us for coffee on the square. In the evening we celebrate the week with a special farewell dinner.
After breakfast, we visit the local market for one last taste of Provençal life. It is a calm and friendly morning to round off our week together.
Transfers take you back to Marseille or Avignon, legs pleasantly tired and spirits lifted by new friends and shared kilometres.
Why Choose This Tour?
We keep things simple so you can enjoy the ride, the company and the Provençal way of life. Three cycling days give you plenty of time on the bike while keeping the pace relaxed and enjoyable.
Our team handles the planning so you can focus on the good moments, the great food and the people you will share them with.
Taking on Mont Ventoux is special and we make sure you never feel alone on the climb. We set the pace together, check in often and make sure everyone reaches the summit feeling proud and supported.
It is not about speed here. It is about community, connection and that shared sense of achievement when we regroup at the top.
Provence is more than lavender fields and pretty roads. It is café stops, market colours, long dinners and that easy laughter around the table after a good day on the bike.
We choose our partners carefully so every stay, meal and experience reflects the simple, generous pleasure of being here together.
