Savor the slow pace of life in southern France on a journey for the senses through Provence. Bike amid the Alpilles, where olive trees glisten silver in the sun. Then pedal in the Lubéron, where the air is rich with fragrant flowers and trees.

Ride quiet roads to medieval hilltop villages, taking in views of vineyards, orchards and pastures. Visit the historic towns of Gordes and St-Rémy, and stop at the market in picture-perfect Bédoin to sample delicacies such as fresh goat cheese, olives and pastries.
