It's a slower pace of life here in southern France. Amid the Alpilles, where olive trees glisten silver in the breeze. Where limestone hills press wavelike against the ultra-blue sky. And sun-drenched villages tempt you to linger, relax over a pastis or a local rosé. In the Lubéron, it's a celebration of color, be it poppies and wildflowers in spring, lavender in summer or changing grape leaves in fall. Pedal quiet roads to medieval hilltop towns. Soak up views of vineyards, orchards and windswept countryside. And rejoice in the Provençal cornucopia: fresh goat cheese, honey, olives, tapenade, sun-dried tomatoes and heavenly pastries. Find bliss in Provence, with Backroads, on a bicycle.

Meet/Depart: Avignon, France

Note: Prices may change. Once you book your trip, your price is guaranteed.

Departure Date with Hotel Variations:

6/24-29: Hotel variation: On Days 1 & 2, we stay at Hotel Gounod in St-Remy instead of the Auberge de Benvengudo.

Day 1: Avignon

Meet your Backroads Trip Leaders (the folks wearing Backroads T-shirts) at 11:30 a.m. at the Avignon TGV train station (Gare Avignon TGV). Please note that there are two train stations in Avignon; we do not meet at the station in Avignon Centre. Please arrive dressed in your biking clothes and bring a daypack containing your rain gear and anything else you might want for today’s ride, or have your clothing and gear in a small separate bag so you can change before the ride.

Bienvenue en Provence! After meeting we shuttle to La Ribote, a family-run restaurant tucked into the foot of the Alpilles range. Our host, Madame Mestre, warmly welcomes us with a light lunch. Then your Backroads Trip Leaders fit your bike and give a brief talk on biking techniques and safety. When you’re ready, head out on two wheels into the beautiful Provençal countryside.

Our destination today is Les Baux, perched on a rocky plateau above the Val d’Enfer (“Valley of Hell”), an eerie limestone landscape pockmarked with caves and said to be frequented by witches and goblins. There’s time to explore Les Baux, with its charming old houses, winding narrow lanes and the ruins of a castle “dismantled” in the 1600s by order of Cardinal Richelieu. In the Middle Ages, this spot was home to the Seigneurs des Baux, self-proclaimed descendants of Magus Balthazar (one of the Three Wise Men), who erected fortifications and proceeded to wage incessant warfare on neighboring clans—and eventually each other.

We spend our first two nights at cozy Auberge de la Benvengudo, surrounded by fragrant pine trees, lavender fields and almond orchards. This evening we gather for a reception, followed by dinner at our hotel’s restaurant. Bon appétit!

Lodging: Auberge de la Benvengudo

Lodging	Auberge de la Benvengudo
Description	Situated at the base of Les Baux and surrounded by a tranquil garden, this hotel was once a typical Provence family home. (pool, tennis)

Day 2: St-Rémy

Warm up those cycling muscles with a climb out of Les Baux and toward St-Rémy, a bustling Gallo-Roman village with cheery cafés and tree-lined boulevards. (If you’d like more time to explore St-Rémy, feel free to shuttle there instead.) This historic artists’ haven has hosted its share of famous names over the centuries: Nostradamus was a native St-Rémois; Albert Schweitzer recuperated here in 1917; and Gertrude Stein made this her home for several years.

Pedal on to nearby St-Paul de Mausole, where we’re joined by charming local guide Marie-Charlotte Bouton. She leads our visit of the monastery, telling us about its most famous resident, Vincent van Gogh, who voluntarily secluded himself here in the adjoining asylum for a year in 1890 after cutting off part of his left ear in Arles. Although it was likely the most difficult period of the artist’s life, it was also one of the most prolific; he produced more than 100 drawings and 140 paintings, including Irises and Wheat Fields with Cypresses.

Our next stop is Moulin du Calanquet, a family-run olive mill. Delightful mill co-owner Ann Brun invites us in for a tour and degustation of fine olives and oils before we indulge in a Backroads picnic on the grounds. You can choose to shuttle back to Les Baux for the afternoon or continue on two wheels past olive, apple and pear orchards. For those wanting more miles, ascend through pine- and herbblanketed hills to Abbaye St-Michel-de-Frigolet. In the 10th century, the Benedictine monks of Montmajour, weakened and feverish from their work draining the marsh known as the Crau, sought refuge and recuperation in the abbey. Their illness found a cure in the form of Frigolet, a liqueur made from thyme.

Tonight, join your Trip Leaders for the traditional French game of pétanque before sitting down to another fantastic meal at Benvengudo.

Lodging: Auberge de la Benvengudo

Biking Options:

St-Rémy Route: 22 Miles* (500’ elevation gain)

Moulin du Calanquet Loop: 32 Miles (1,500’)

Abbaye St-Michel-de-Frigolet Loop: 41 Miles (2,300’)

*with shuttle

Lodging	Auberge de la Benvengudo
Description	Situated at the base of Les Baux and surrounded by a tranquil garden, this hotel was once a typical Provence family home. (pool, tennis)

Day 3: Alpilles

After breakfast begin biking through the limestone hills of the Alpilles, blanketed with garrigue, the wild herbes de Provence whose distinctive fragrance fills the air. In Eygalières grab an espresso at our favorite café. While you’re here you might also want to pick up something at the bakery or at one of the cafés to take with you for lunch—it’s the perfect day to stop for a picnic beneath the pine trees or near a fountain in one of the towns along the route.

Back on your bike, set your wheels toward the dramatic limestone peaks of the Lubéron Range. To start off, join the Route de Jean Moulin, a scenic road bordered by pine trees, vineyards and quintessential Provençal scenery. After crossing the Durance River, bike through Cavaillon, France’s melon capital. (The melon is such an important commodity here, Cavaillon even has a Brotherhood of Knights of the Order of the Melon!) Continue through several tiny villages, including Cheval Blanc, Robion and Oppède-le-Vieux, that cling to the side of the Petit Lubéron and blend into the rocky landscape.

We retire our bikes for the day in the historic village of Saignon, said to be one of France’s ten oldest towns. Saignon’s past, tracing back to pre-Roman times, is visible in its architecture, churches, ancient fountains and picturesque squares. Community life revolves around La Place de la Fontaine, where our authentically restored abode, Auberge du Presbytère, is located. This evening we relax by the fountain before gathering for dinner.

Lodging: Auberge du Presbytère

Biking Options:

Robion Route: 28 Miles* (660’elevation gain)

Oppède-le-Vieux Route: 32 Miles* (1,500’)

Saignon Route: 50 Miles (2,810’)

*with shuttle

Lodging	Auberge du Presbytère
Description	Nestled near La Place de la Fontaine in ancient Saignon, this hotel was originally three village houses whose foundations date back to the 11th and 12th centuries.

Day 4: Ménerbes

Our ride today takes you through timeless Provençal villages, including Ménerbes, immortalized by Peter Mayle in his best-selling A Year in Provence. We stop for a delicious picnic and a tour at Domaine de la Citadelle winery, home to the well-known Musée du Tire-Bouchon (Corkscrew Museum), which displays more than 1,200 corkscrews, some dating from the 17th century.

Roussillon, which rests on one of the world’s biggest ochre deposits, is the first point of interest on this afternoon’s route. Adored by artists for centuries, the village is renowned for its striking natural surroundings, especially the Chaussée des Géants, a canyon radiant with 16 shades of ochre. Then enjoy a great downhill into the valley before the longest climb of the day back to Saignon. To increase your mileage and tackle two more ascents, bike to Murs, located on the crest of another small mountain.

Tonight choose from Saignon’s inviting restaurants and bistros for dinner on your own.

Lodging: Auberge du Presbytère

Biking Options:

Roussillon Route: 28 Miles* (1,620’ elevation gain)

Lubéron Loop: 38 Miles (2,460’)

Murs Route: 47 Miles (3,470’)

*with shuttle

Lodging	Auberge du Presbytère
Description	Nestled near La Place de la Fontaine in ancient Saignon, this hotel was originally three village houses whose foundations date back to the 11th and 12th centuries.

Day 5: Mont Ventoux

Head out this morning accompanied by unsurpassed views of rocky Mont Ventoux, perhaps best known for its occasional appearance in the Tour de France. It strikes fear in the hearts of even the most seasoned cyclists with its 13-mile, 4,800foot, average 7.5-percent-gradient climb. You, however, can rest easy knowing that you don’t have to face this daunting challenge!

Today’s route offers plenty of climbs, interspersed with some welcome downhills. First set your sights on the village of Lacoste, which claims the Marquis de Sade, the controversial 18th-century author, as its most infamous resident. Ascend to the ruins of the Marquis’s former castle (now owned by fashion designer Pierre Cardin) for spectacular views of the Vaucluse ridge and, clouds willing, Mont Ventoux. By the time you reach Bonnieux, a café au lait may be just the thing to perk you up. Continue on to Gordes, a lovely village perché clinging to the craggy southern face of the high Vaucluse Plateau. Here old stone buildings stand in orderly terraces atop khaki-colored cliffs; a massive 12thcentury castle watches over fields, forests and neighboring hilltop towns; and cobblestone lanes lead to shady squares and cafés. You’re on your own for lunch; grab a seat at one of these cafés and enjoy the people-watching.

This afternoon continue riding past a series of classic Provençal villages, including Goult and Venasque. Thanks to its quaint serpentine streets and tidy homes embellished with flower-filled window boxes, Venasque has been designated one of Les Plus Beaux Villages de France (“The Most Beautiful Villages of France”). Check out the 12th-century church and authentic buildings, and browse in the unique pottery shop near the main fountain. It’s not always open, so cross your fingers here.

Our home for the final night is the delightful Château de Mazan. A festive farewell gathering kicks off the evening, followed by dinner at the hotel’s restaurant.

Lodging: Château de Mazan

Biking Options:

Gordes Route: 29 Miles* (1,250’ elevation gain)

Abbaye de Senanque Route: 34 Miles* (3,440’)

Château de Mazan Route: 45 Miles (2,240’)

*with shuttle

Lodging	Château de Mazan
Description	This elegant 18th-century château, former residence of the Marquis de Sade, rests at the foot of towering Mount Ventoux.

Day 6: Avignon

Surrounded by venerable Côtes du Ventoux vineyards, relish a final spin through the countryside this morning, passing the pretty village of Mormoiron, with its narrow streets and lovely fountains. In St-Pierre-de-Vassols, consider stopping to sample table grapes, cherries, olives and truffles. If you can’t bear to part with your bike, pedal on to Bedoin and pick up last-minute souvenirs or a new cycling jersey. (Hey, you’ve earned it!) After your ride there’s time to shower, pack and eat lunch before we shuttle to the Avignon TGV station, where our trip ends.

Biking Options:

St-Pierre-de-Vassols Loop: 12 Miles (610’ elevation gain)

Bedoin Loop: 18 Miles (700’)

This was the best trip I have ever taken in my life. It was exceedingly well organized. Dare I say perfect? This is the first time that I continually miss a place where I just took a vacation. I miss the multisensory experience of biking through the back roads of Provence - the lavender fields, sunflower fields, bread and cheese (nothing like these to be found anywhere in the US), winding through perched medieval villages, the satisfaction of completing a long ride and getting to eat whatever I want. I really appreciated the well-written directions that enabled me to safely bicycle alone when I wanted to. I appreciated the thoughtful inclusion of features of Provence that in 6 days made me feel like I got a taste of everything that it had to offer. I tend to live in my head a lot in real life. The biking experience kept me in the here and now, which leaves me with a flood of what feels like several weeks worth of memories. Our trip leaders were quite literally omniscient and omnipresent. I put a photo of the experience on my laptop desktop as well as on my desk to bring back the feelings of amazement, expansiveness, connectedness with the earth that I experienced while biking with Backroads in Provence.

As soon as I said "au revoir!" to our delightful guides, I was overcome with awe and appreciation for the trip. I was nervous about the biking. That ended up being a wonderful challenge that I am proud to say I accomplished. And it was worth it! Eating the cheeses and breads, drinking the local wines, the espresso. Seeing the sights of lavender, poppies, cherry trees. Staying at lovely country inns and a chateau....it was a dream come true. Anyone considering this trip- Go!!!

This was a wonderful trip in all aspects. Our leaders worked extremely hard to ensure our every need was not only met, but anticipated before we even realized we had a need! We’ve taken many active trips with various companies, starting with Backroads many years ago, then tried others. We’re now “back home” with Backroads and will be loyal riders and walkers with your company for years to come. From the first communiqué with your company to the goodbyes with the trip leaders, we couldn’t have asked for a more comprehensive, well-planned vacation in a beautiful part of the world!

Wildly exceeded my expectations! I have never taken a "tour" vacation before and wasn't sure how I would like the experience. I loved this trip! The accommodations were exactly what I would pick for myself and it was a treat to have someone else deal with the arrangements, luggage, etc. The biking was terrific. We got to do and see so much each day but it was never overwhelming. I also liked that I could bike at my pace and my husband could find faster people in the group to ride with so that each of us could enjoy the experience.

We have many friends who have taken Backroads trips in the past and highly recommended every one to us. We were not disappointed. We know one couple who traveled to Tuscany on a Premiere trip last year, but when we told them about this Casual Inn trip, they were pleased to know such options were available. Although we can't compare the two experiences, we certainly can't say anything was lacking. We would truly recommend this to anyone and will take another trip with Backroads in the future.

                                        Meet your Backroads Trip Leaders (the folks wearing Backroads T-shirts) at 11:30 a.m. at the Avignon TGV train station (Gare Avignon TGV). Please note that there are two train stations in Avignon; we do not meet at the station in Avignon Centre. Please arrive dressed in your biking clothes and bring a daypack containing your rain gear and anything else you might want for today’s ride, or have your clothing and gear in a small separate bag so you can change before the ride.<div><br></div><div>Bienvenue en Provence! After meeting we shuttle to La Ribote, a family-run restaurant tucked into the foot of the Alpilles range. Our host, Madame Mestre, warmly welcomes us with a light lunch. Then your Backroads Trip Leaders fit your bike and give a brief talk on biking techniques and safety. When you’re ready, head out on two wheels into the beautiful Provençal countryside.</div><div><br></div><div>Our destination today is Les Baux, perched on a rocky plateau above the Val d’Enfer (“Valley of Hell”), an eerie limestone landscape pockmarked with caves and said to be frequented by witches and goblins. There’s time to explore Les Baux, with its charming old houses, winding narrow lanes and the ruins of a castle “dismantled” in the 1600s by order of Cardinal Richelieu. In the Middle Ages, this spot was home to the Seigneurs des Baux, self-proclaimed descendants of Magus Balthazar (one of the Three Wise Men), who erected fortifications and proceeded to wage incessant warfare on neighboring clans—and eventually each other.</div><div><br></div><div>We spend our first two nights at cozy Auberge de la Benvengudo, surrounded by fragrant pine trees, lavender fields and almond orchards. This evening we gather for a reception, followed by dinner at our hotel’s restaurant. Bon appétit!</div><div><br></div><div>Lodging: Auberge de la Benvengudo</div>

                                        Warm up those cycling muscles with a climb out of Les Baux and toward St-Rémy, a bustling Gallo-Roman village with cheery cafés and tree-lined boulevards. (If you’d like more time to explore St-Rémy, feel free to shuttle there instead.) This historic artists’ haven has hosted its share of famous names over the centuries: Nostradamus was a native St-Rémois; Albert Schweitzer recuperated here in 1917; and Gertrude Stein made this her home for several years.<div><br></div><div>Pedal on to nearby St-Paul de Mausole, where we’re joined by charming local guide Marie-Charlotte Bouton. She leads our visit of the monastery, telling us about its most famous resident, Vincent van Gogh, who voluntarily secluded himself here in the adjoining asylum for a year in 1890 after cutting off part of his left ear in Arles. Although it was likely the most difficult period of the artist’s life, it was also one of the most prolific; he produced more than 100 drawings and 140 paintings, including Irises and Wheat Fields with Cypresses.</div><div><br></div><div>Our next stop is Moulin du Calanquet, a family-run olive mill. Delightful mill co-owner Ann Brun invites us in for a tour and degustation of fine olives and oils before we indulge in a Backroads picnic on the grounds. You can choose to shuttle back to Les Baux for the afternoon or continue on two wheels past olive, apple and pear orchards. For those wanting more miles, ascend through pine- and herbblanketed hills to Abbaye St-Michel-de-Frigolet. In the 10th century, the Benedictine monks of Montmajour, weakened and feverish from their work draining the marsh known as the Crau, sought refuge and recuperation in the abbey. Their illness found a cure in the form of Frigolet, a liqueur made from thyme.</div><div><br></div><div>Tonight, join your Trip Leaders for the traditional French game of pétanque before sitting down to another fantastic meal at Benvengudo.</div><div><br></div><div>Lodging: Auberge de la Benvengudo</div><div><br></div><div>Biking Options:</div><div>St-Rémy Route: 22 Miles* (500’ elevation gain)</div><div>Moulin du Calanquet Loop: 32 Miles (1,500’)</div><div>Abbaye St-Michel-de-Frigolet Loop: 41 Miles (2,300’)</div><div>*with shuttle</div>

                                        After breakfast begin biking through the limestone hills of the Alpilles, blanketed with garrigue, the wild herbes de Provence whose distinctive fragrance fills the air. In Eygalières grab an espresso at our favorite café. While you’re here you might also want to pick up something at the bakery or at one of the cafés to take with you for lunch—it’s the perfect day to stop for a picnic beneath the pine trees or near a fountain in one of the towns along the route.<div><br></div><div>Back on your bike, set your wheels toward the dramatic limestone peaks of the Lubéron Range. To start off, join the Route de Jean Moulin, a scenic road bordered by pine trees, vineyards and quintessential Provençal scenery. After crossing the Durance River, bike through Cavaillon, France’s melon capital. (The melon is such an important commodity here, Cavaillon even has a Brotherhood of Knights of the Order of the Melon!) Continue through several tiny villages, including Cheval Blanc, Robion and Oppède-le-Vieux, that cling to the side of the Petit Lubéron and blend into the rocky landscape.</div><div><br></div><div>We retire our bikes for the day in the historic village of Saignon, said to be one of France’s ten oldest towns. Saignon’s past, tracing back to pre-Roman times, is visible in its architecture, churches, ancient fountains and picturesque squares. Community life revolves around La Place de la Fontaine, where our authentically restored abode, Auberge du Presbytère, is located. This evening we relax by the fountain before gathering for dinner.</div><div><br></div><div>Lodging: Auberge du Presbytère</div><div><br></div><div>Biking Options:</div><div>Robion Route: 28 Miles* (660’elevation gain)</div><div>Oppède-le-Vieux Route: 32 Miles* (1,500’)</div><div>Saignon Route: 50 Miles (2,810’) </div><div>*with shuttle</div>

                                        Our ride today takes you through timeless Provençal villages, including Ménerbes, immortalized by Peter Mayle in his best-selling A Year in Provence. We stop for a delicious picnic and a tour at Domaine de la Citadelle winery, home to the well-known Musée du Tire-Bouchon (Corkscrew Museum), which displays more than 1,200 corkscrews, some dating from the 17th century.<div><br></div><div>Roussillon, which rests on one of the world’s biggest ochre deposits, is the first point of interest on this afternoon’s route. Adored by artists for centuries, the village is renowned for its striking natural surroundings, especially the Chaussée des Géants, a canyon radiant with 16 shades of ochre. Then enjoy a great downhill into the valley before the longest climb of the day back to Saignon. To increase your mileage and tackle two more ascents, bike to Murs, located on the crest of another small mountain.</div><div><br></div><div>Tonight choose from Saignon’s inviting restaurants and bistros for dinner on your own.</div><div><br></div><div>Lodging: Auberge du Presbytère</div><div><br></div><div>Biking Options:</div><div>Roussillon Route: 28 Miles* (1,620’ elevation gain)</div><div>Lubéron Loop: 38 Miles (2,460’)</div><div>Murs Route: 47 Miles (3,470’) </div><div>*with shuttle</div>

                                    </div>
                                    <div style="margin-top: 5px; font-family: 'Futura Bold', 'Gill Sans', Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; color: #544741; line-height: 20px;">
                                        Head out this morning accompanied by unsurpassed views of rocky Mont Ventoux, perhaps best known for its occasional appearance in the Tour de France. It strikes fear in the hearts of even the most seasoned cyclists with its 13-mile, 4,800foot, average 7.5-percent-gradient climb. You, however, can rest easy knowing that you don’t have to face this daunting challenge!<div><br></div><div>Today’s route offers plenty of climbs, interspersed with some welcome downhills. First set your sights on the village of Lacoste, which claims the Marquis de Sade, the controversial 18th-century author, as its most infamous resident. Ascend to the ruins of the Marquis’s former castle (now owned by fashion designer Pierre Cardin) for spectacular views of the Vaucluse ridge and, clouds willing, Mont Ventoux. By the time you reach Bonnieux, a café au lait may be just the thing to perk you up. Continue on to Gordes, a lovely village perché clinging to the craggy southern face of the high Vaucluse Plateau. Here old stone buildings stand in orderly terraces atop khaki-colored cliffs; a massive 12thcentury castle watches over fields, forests and neighboring hilltop towns; and cobblestone lanes lead to shady squares and cafés. You’re on your own for lunch; grab a seat at one of these cafés and enjoy the people-watching.</div><div><br></div><div>This afternoon continue riding past a series of classic Provençal villages, including Goult and Venasque. Thanks to its quaint serpentine streets and tidy homes embellished with flower-filled window boxes, Venasque has been designated one of Les Plus Beaux Villages de France (“The Most Beautiful Villages of France”). Check out the 12th-century church and authentic buildings, and browse in the unique pottery shop near the main fountain. It’s not always open, so cross your fingers here.</div><div><br></div><div>Our home for the final night is the delightful Château de Mazan. A festive farewell gathering kicks off the evening, followed by dinner at the hotel’s restaurant.</div><div><br></div><div>Lodging: Château de Mazan</div><div><br></div><div>Biking Options:</div><div>Gordes Route: 29 Miles* (1,250’ elevation gain)</div><div>Abbaye de Senanque Route: 34 Miles* (3,440’)</div><div>Château de Mazan Route: 45 Miles (2,240’) </div><div>*with shuttle</div>

                                        Surrounded by venerable Côtes du Ventoux vineyards, relish a final spin through the countryside this morning, passing the pretty village of Mormoiron, with its narrow streets and lovely fountains. In St-Pierre-de-Vassols, consider stopping to sample table grapes, cherries, olives and truffles. If you can’t bear to part with your bike, pedal on to Bedoin and pick up last-minute souvenirs or a new cycling jersey. (Hey, you’ve earned it!) After your ride there’s time to shower, pack and eat lunch before we shuttle to the Avignon TGV station, where our trip ends.<div><br></div><div>Biking Options: </div><div>St-Pierre-de-Vassols Loop: 12 Miles (610’ elevation gain)</div><div>Bedoin Loop: 18 Miles (700’)</div>
