We have been riding and living in the area for more than 10 years, so we can show you the real Provence that many bikers don't get to see with many of the larger less personal bike tours on offer. We have built up a directory of more than 40 rides to suit all abilities; from those that prefer a leisurely 20kms along the flat to those that want a more full-on afternoon in the hills. We can also design rides on the spot to meet any specific needs that you may have.
Using these roads all year long means that we know where the best rides & places to visit are. You'll ride through breathtaking countryside and historic stone villages, with great restaurants & wine chateaux, and many other sights that we'll point out along your route.
All our rides start from the Farmhouse and take you along quiet countryside back roads which see little traffic. And we also make good use of the local bike route network, part of which is a superb 20k stretch of converted rail track.
The terrain is a varied one catering for all fitness levels. We live in a river valley between two sets of rolling hills, go further up these hills and they get pretty tough. Just to the west is the river plane delta of the Rhone - so nice, flat and fast.
“The cycling routes that Neil lays out due to his extensive knowledge of the historic areas and wonderful cafes for lunch are outstanding.”
Stephen - US - Sept 11.“Excellent. Whether you are a cycling newby of questionable fitness or a serious club cyclist, Neil would be able to come up with suitable rides for you starting (and finishing) at the B&B. The Luberon has some beautiful countryside and many traffic-free roads to enjoy.”
Carrie - UK - July 11."The biking was wonderful and the scenery and location beautiful. Neil adapted routes to fit our needs and desires and went out of his way to make sure we were comfortable and taken care of."
Dana & Flynn - US - June 2010."The cycling was perfect.......I pedalled for miles every day through tiny hill top villages, fields full of lavender and sunflowers......it was bliss."
Julie - UK - July 2010."For the more adventurous I would recommend a trip up Ventoux. It may not feel great at the time, in fact it may feel awful, but when you get to the top its an incredible feeling."
Patrick - UK - June 2010.
