Meet our guides at the Avignon TGV train station, and the adventure begins! After a short transfer into the countryside, we’ll start in style at our luxurious hotel with a bike fitting and safety briefing. Set out on a beautiful first ride past vineyards and fruit-laden orchards, reaching Saint-Saturnin-lès-Apt in time for lunch. Leave town alongside the iconic 17th-century windmills and continue cruising through the villages of Gargas and Villars, admiring the region’s tranquil landscapes and timeless architecture. Tonight, delight in a vineyard-side bienvenue dinner at our hotel’s bistro. Bon Appétit!
Our morning ride will take us on small country roads that lead to one of the most beautiful villages of the Luberon: Gordes. Explore the village’s outdoor market and scenic terraces created by its impressive position in the Luberon Valley. Next, climb to the high plateau of the Luberon where we’re rewarded with incredible views followed by a well-deserved lunch in the village of Murs. Cruise downhill to the next charming village, Roussillon, which is full of galleries, colorful adornments made by local artists, and astonishing ochre-colored cliffs. Spend the remainder of today as you wish—may we suggest treating yourself to a massage at the hotel spa? This evening, we’ll regroup and head to dinner at a delightful family-run restaurant with a secret garden terrace.
Today we’ll ride on through the forested heart of the Petit Luberon, peering out across the valley floor with its patchwork of orchards and vineyards. Enjoy views from the wealthy and picturesque village of Bonnieux, and stop for a cappuccino in Lacoste. We’ll learn about Côtes du Luberon wines in a domaine near Goult, then enjoy a lovely picnic prepared by your guides. Spin back to our hotel on a bike path and spend the afternoon relaxing poolside with a glass of chilled rosé. Later, we’ll celebrate our week together with dinner beneath the foliage of a magnificent plane tree at a nearby winery restaurant.
For your final morning, enjoy a quiet breakfast and relax or go for a last ride in the countryside, saying farewell to the olive groves and vineyards that have been so familiar to us this week. Your guides will see you off in Avignon.
