What Guests are Saying

There's a unique, lasting and magnetizing charm to Provence; it never gets old and it's never enough. Saint-Rémy-de-Provence is one of my favorite spots for a Provençal adventure. You simply can't go wrong!

Your Trip Need to Knows:

Take your time, savor each bite, and enjoy the flavors that make French cuisine so amazing!
  • Biking in Provence: We want to make sure you have a comfortable and enjoyable experience on this trip, so it’s important to note that, at times, the roads we’ll be riding on may be a bit narrow with some traffic. It is important to stay vigilant while taking in the views of this beautiful region.

FAQs

April, May, June, September, and October in Provence usually bring clear, warm, and pleasant days with cool evenings. August days can be hot, as can the beginning of September, but it does cool off in the evenings. While less likely in the summer months, rain is always a possibility so be prepared with the proper rain gear in order to best enjoy your Provence Countryside bike tour. 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. View our Packing List
