Additional Details

Know Before You Go!

We want you to be fully prepared for your cycling vacation of a lifetime. This involves making sure that you choose the appropriate trip for you and that every aspect of your experience is flawless. Each Trek Travel trip is unique to ensure maximum enjoyment every time.

Your Trip Need to Knows:

  • Special date note: Please be aware that May 8–10, 2026 and and May 23–25, 2026 are long holiday weekends. Additionally, the annual sailing regatta, Les Voiles de Saint-Tropez, will be taking place in Saint-Tropez during the last week of September and attracts a large global audience. If you’re considering booking additional nights, we recommend securing accommodations as soon as possible to guarantee your stay.
  • Dining in France: When it comes to French cuisine, we all know that France is famous for it, but it’s important to keep in mind that service can sometimes be slower than expected. But don’t let that discourage you! This is all part of the experience and it only adds to the charm of dining in France. Take your time, savor each bite and enjoy the flavors that make French cuisine so amazing!
  • Biking in Provence and the French Riviera: To help ensure a safe and enjoyable ride, please note that some of the roads on this trip—particularly in the Gorges du Verdon and around Saint-Tropez—can be narrow and experience moderate to heavy traffic, especially in June and September. While the scenery is breathtaking, it’s important to stay alert and ride with care through these busier areas.
  • E-Bikes: E-bike speeds vary worldwide due to local regulations, which determine how fast you can ride with assistance. See the E-bike speed chart to see the maximum speeds allowed in each region.

Before and After Your Trip

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.
