Provence cycling holidays

Provence cycling holidays exploring the hidden gems of southern France

Our selection of self-guided cycling holidays in Provence ensure that you discover the best of what the region has to offer. Famous for its vineyards, we have many trips that lead you through the wine making villages, with plenty of opportunities for tasting on route. And you cannot possibly travel to France without sampling the delicious cuisine and Provence has a range of specialties, including goat’s cheese, olives and tapenade and ratatouille, all mouthwateringly wonderful when washed down with a chilled glass of local wine after a fantastic day in the saddle!

June and early July are the best times to book Provence cycling tours to see the lavender fields in full bloom. This is Provence at its picture postcard best. If you head up to the village of Sault (one of the starting blocks for the Mont Ventoux ascent), you can admire the rolling hills, fragrant and purple in colour. 

Ultimately, our Provence cycling holidays are designed to highlight the typical landscapes of the region. Our bike tours in Provence often begin in the Pope’s city of Avignon, famous for its half-built bridge! From here we head off the beaten track, past rows and rows of vineyards, through olive groves and cherry orchards, exploring the well-known perched villages of Les Baux de Provence and Gordes and uncovering the lesser-known ones such as Menerbes and Goult. We invite you to rest on shaded café terraces, soak up the atmosphere of the bustling local markets and experience the true heart of Provence.

Bike tours in Provence with good-quality bike hire

All of our Provence cycling holidays include bike hire. You can choose from a hybrid bike, a road bike or an electric bike and all are equipped with helmets and paniers. Your bikes are delivered to your first accommodation and picked up from your final destination. We transfer your luggage hotel to hotel by taxi during the trip, so you just need to take the essentials for the day’s ride. All of our bike tours in Provence have been tried and tested by our team of Track finders, experts of the destination. We offer easy cycling trips for those who wish to take their time, more moderate tours for those looking to sweat it out a little more, and some challenging tours for the more avid cyclists.

Our Provence cycling holidays are designed and developed by us, at Intura. This means that we can customise any one of our self-guided cycling holidays to best suit your needs. Contact us for further information and allow us to help create the perfect trip.
