FAQs

April, May, September, and October in Provence usually bring clear, warm, and pleasant days with cool evenings. Temperatures during these months range between 60s to high 70s (16º-26ºC), but don’t be surprised if the Provençal sun raises temperatures to mid 80s (29ºC). The mornings often start off cooler. Rain is always a possibility, so be prepared with the proper rain gear in order to best enjoy your cycling vacation. The beginning of June and September can be hot, with temperatures that sometimes get up in the 90s (above 32ºC) but it does cool off in the evenings and has less chance of rain. Regardless of the month, please note that the region sometimes experiences a famously strong wind, the Mistral, which can drop the temperatures significantly. Packing layers is always recommended. Consider checking weather and wind reports before you depart so you can be prepared.

Sharing the joy that comes with wow moments

Guide gratuities are customary and at your own discretion, to recognize service, hospitality, and the little extras that surprise and delight. For this Reserve trip, we suggest a tip for your guides between $240-$300 per guest and, of course, you may choose to give more if your guides made your trip an unforgettable experience. While local currency is preferred, there are other options to make tipping easier. Most guides accept gratuity via PayPal or our staff can help before or after the trip. Gratuities will be divided among the guide team, so feel free to leave your gratuity with whomever you choose at the end of your trip.
