Accommodation in Provence "We thoroughly enjoyed our bike riding trip! We opted for e-bikes which was great for us given that we weren't both regular bike riders. The itinerary of each day was very flexible, giving you the chance to have a late or early start with still plenty of time in the day to enjoy the village for your overnight stay. We often opted for an early start, arriving around lunchtime at our destination. We particularly loved the two-night stay (with a rest day) at Saint Remy de Provence. It gave us more time for some sight seeing and enjoying the bigger village. The GPS navigation was also super easy to follow and as English-speakers, we didn't find any issues making our way around. We would highly recommend this experience to others looking to 'get off the beaten track' and explore some hidden gems in the Provence region." C. Naughtin Dining in Provence "Backroads of Provence was a wonderful experience. The scenery was beautiful and the villages we passed through were interesting. The information we were provided with was extremely useful. The Guido app was great to use while riding and gave some great suggestions of places to look at while on the ride and where to obtain food. The hotels were comfortable and checking in early was no problem. Overall a fantastic experience." D. Campbell. Cycling in Provence "We had a wonderful time on Provence backroads visiting towns and stopping for espresso and something special at a boulangerie. The route was easy and having e-bikes made it fun." L. Wells. Colours of Provence The very best way to experience the back roads and villages of Provence. Perfectly located accommodation in places we might never experienced had we not been cycling. Sleeping under the city ruins of Beaux de Provence and enjoying the first class hospitality of the hotel owners was an experience we will never forget. Moderation was put behind us! Easy track notes to follow and lots of opportunity and places to do your own exploring in the towns." M. Sprague" Scenes of Provence "This was a fabulous trip. The organisation was seamless and it was exactly as described in the information provided. We are both in our 60s and the level was perfect for our fitness levels." S. Rabach A big merci to Deborah and Lara for sharing their photos.
