Additional Arrival Information
We suggest that you arrive in Provence at least one day prior to the start of your Tour de France bike tour, which will enable you to adjust to the time zone and minimize the risk of missing the trip start due to flight-related delays. We recommend that you fly into Paris (CDG). From Paris, take a TGV train to Avignon, either from the TGV station at Charles de Gaulle Airport or from the Gare de Lyon in Paris. Please note that there are two train stations in Avignon—the TGV and the center station (Gare d'Avignon-Centre). To ensure a quicker journey, we advise you to book your ticket to arrive at the TGV station that is approximately five miles from the center station downtown. To reach the city center, taxis are available for approximately 20€. There is also a frequent shuttle service for a few euros that connects the two train stations.
Train schedules are available and tickets can be booked directly online at www.trainline.com or using our in-house travel agent services. (Please note the train schedule changes frequently. Please consult the Trainline site for the most up-to-date schedule.)
Alternatively, you may fly into Marseille (MRS) or Nice (NCE) and take a train to Avignon. You will arrive at Avignon-Centre train station. To reach Place Crillon, taxis are available for approximately 10€.
Your Trek Travel guides will meet you in the bus parking located in the north exit of the Avignon TGV Station at 11:00 AM on the first day of the trip. To find the north exit, follow signs to: Sortie Nord, the car rental area (location voitures) and to Parking P1. Exit the station and turn left in the direction of the large bus parking lot. Here the shuttle will be waiting for you with your Trek Travel guide just before your departure time. After a one hour shuttle by private coach, your Tour de France adventure begins! Enjoy a delicious lunch as your guides explain how the trip will unfold, and fit you to your Trek bike. Once everyone’s bike is ready you’ll be off to explore the quiet roads of Provence.
If you will be late for the pick-up or are going to miss it altogether, please inform your guides. If you cannot reach them, please call our first hotel, Hotel Crillon le Brave (+33 4 90 65 61 61), and leave a message with your expected arrival time and contact details. You may take a taxi to the first night’s hotel for approximately 100€.

Get ready for epic scenery and legendary riding today as we take on the Géant de Provence—the formidable Mont Ventoux—ourselves, just as the Tour de France climbers battled for yellow on these revered slopes yesterday. This 13.4-mile ascent has no flat sections and features an average grade of 10% over a relentless 6.2-mile stretch, leading into the famous "moonscape." What makes Ventoux truly challenging isn't just its steep grades, but its unpredictable weather—intense winds or heat can make this climb feel even tougher. We’ll set out early to give you the best chance for a memorable ascent. After reaching the summit and capturing the moment with a photo, we’ll descend to Malaucène for a well-earned bistro lunch. Feeling strong? Tackle Ventoux again from the opposite side for a double ascent, or enjoy a relaxing spin back to the hotel. This evening, you and your fellow cyclists are free to explore town and, with recommendations from your guides, choose a local spot for dinner. Read More

Because of the terrain and/or remoteness of the hotels and riding routes, there are few, if any, non-riding options available. If a non-rider wants to accompany a rider guest on this trip, they would need to spend many hours in the van and/or at the hotels on the trip. Due to this, we strongly discourage non-riders from this destination.

Your Trip Need to Knows:
Avignon, France
If you are planning on extending your time in Provence and exploring the walled city of Avignon, besides enjoying the plethora of cafe terraces and great shopping and restaurant options, there are a number of must-sees. Palais des Papes stands as the largest Gothic palace in Europe. With the arrival of the popes in the 14th century, for a period known as the Avignon Papacy, the Palais des Papes was home to the Sovereign Pontiffs. You might also consider visiting the nearby Pont du Gard, an ancient, three-tiered Roman aqueduct that was used to bring Uzès spring water to Nîmes. We recommend the following accommodations for your pre-trip hotel:
Where to Stay
La Mirande
Housed in a centuries-old mansion, hotel La Mirande offers charming, antique-filled rooms and is known for its romantic atmosphere. The hotel features a gourmet restaurant that highlights local Provencal flavors. With its historic appeal and luxurious amenities, this hotel is an ideal choice for those wanting to visit the many highlights in town. www.la-mirande.fr
Hôtel de Cambis
Located in the heart of Avignon, Hôtel de Cambis blends historic charm with modern elegance. Guests are welcomed by the intimate wine bar, setting the tone for a sensory experience that continues in rooms named after wine classifications like Premiers Crus and Millésimes. With high-quality amenities and refined decor, this hotel offers an enchanting stay just steps from Avignon’s vibrant shops, dining, and landmarks. www.hoteldecambis.com
Hôtel de Garlande
L'Hôtel de Garlande is a charming boutique hotel nestled in the heart of town, just a short walk from the Palais des Papes and Pont d'Avignon. Housed in a beautifully restored historic building, the hotel offers an inviting blend of Provençal character and modern comfort. Each room is uniquely decorated, creating a cozy retreat after a day of exploring Avignon’s vibrant streets, shops, and cafes. www.hoteldegarlande.com
Paris, France
Paris, the “City of Lights,” is home to many of the world’s most iconic monuments and museums. From Napoléon’s majestic Arc de Triomphe at the end of the Champs-Elysées, you can take in sweeping views of this legendary boulevard from its observation deck. For more breathtaking vistas, admire the city from the white dome of Sacré-Coeur in Montmartre, the top of the 56-story Tour Montparnasse, or the summit of the most famous monument of them all—the Eiffel Tower. Discover the height of French gastronomy, shop at the diverse boutiques throughout the city, and set time aside to visit the famous Louvre museum. We recommend the following accommodations for your post-trip hotel:
Where to Stay
Mandarin Oriental Paris
Immersed in the heart of Paris’ design and fashion district, the Mandarin Oriental is an exceptionally stylish and elegant hotel just a few minutes’ walk from the Place de la Concorde and the final stage of this year’s Tour.

Summer in the Alps can bring warm days, with temperatures ranging from the mid-60s to low 80s °F (18-27ºC) and evenings dropping to the mid-50s to mid-60s (13-18ºC). When traveling in mountainous regions of France, including Mont Ventoux, it's best to be prepared for variable conditions, as the weather can change quickly, and there's always a chance of high winds, snow, or rain. We recommend packing rain gear and plenty of breathable layers for warmth when temperatures drop. In Provence, summer can be hot, sometimes reaching the 90s (above 32ºC), but it cools off in the evenings and generally has a lower chance of rain. Please note that the region occasionally experiences the Mistral, a famously strong wind that can significantly lower temperatures and add an extra challenge to your ride.

Sharing the joy that comes with wow moments
Trek Travel guides are dedicated to making moments that last a lifetime, and we invite you to thank them with a trip gratuity. These are customary and at your own discretion, to recognize service, hospitality, and the little extras that surprise and delight. For this Pro Race trip, we recommend $560-$640 per guest and, of course, you may choose to give more if your guides made your trip an unforgettable experience.
Like everything else about your vacation, the Trek Travel team is here to make this experience easier for you. While local currency is preferred, you may also tip through the following options:
Via PayPal (please have this account set up in advance when possible) or with your guest services representative on the phone 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.
You cannot put a price on a wow. But you can show your thanks for an exceptional experience.
