Provence Classic 5N – Avignon, Arles...
This Provence itinerary offers a pleasant combination of city life with the visit of Avignon and Arles, and countryside and village experiences.
You will start and finish your tour in Avignon where you can visit the Pont d’Avignon and Palais des Papes. In the summer, Avignon is also home to the famous Festival d’Avignon, a concentration of innovating theatrical performances.

After more countryside and a stop in St Rémy de Provence, where you can enjoy the view of the hilly Baux de Provence, your trip in Provence will end the way it started: in Avignon!

I am soooo sad to be home!!!!!! We had a wonderful trip after a rocky start between missing out on Paris and Casey being sick the first few days. However, we totally rallied!!!!! The biking was spectacular. We loved every minute. And btw, good thing we got those ebikes, bc the ride up to St. Remy would have been very tough without them. We loved the rolling hills, the vineyards, the views from the mountains on the way to St. Remy? Unforgettable. I have to say that we loved each and every hotel along the way. And in talking about it, every one of us had a different preference for their favorite. All were so unique and different in their own way. The service could not have been better. Our meals all outstanding. If we had more time I would have like to spend an additional night in every town along our way. Maybe skipped Paris (which I love) and just enjoyed more leisurely time in the countryside … I loved our hotel and manager at Hotel Hostellerie in Uzes. He couldn’t have been nicer with Casey being sick. I absolutely loved that town and we had the whole apartment to ourselves. Hotel Du Forum was a totally different vibe. Beautiful hotel with bar
United States
Natalie and I just completed our bike tour and it was merveilleux! The weather was excellent and the the villages we passed through will never be forgotten. We especially enjoyed the first village between Avignon and Uzes - Castillon. We got adventurous and tried many of the different kinds of food, including tartare!: The hotels we stayed at were all very nice and memorable in there own way, but the St. Remy hotel really stood out - Hotel Sous les Figuiers. The host, Pierre, was extremely friendly and helpful. The hotel garden created a very relaxed atmosphere and provided privacy as well. We were actually tempted to spend more time there, rather than just a place to put our luggage and sleep. We chose to spend the morning at the market - a good decision. That, plus the 25mph winds made staying in town that day an easy choice. I do have a couple of minor comments and suggestions. There was no swimming pool at the Uzes hotel - no biggie. There were pools at both the Arles and St. Rémy hotels. Is there a way to avoid Tarascon? The section we went thru wasn’t so nice. All and all, we had a great trip and we will recommend Discover France to anyone we know who’s interested in a cycling tour in Europe.

We have had a great time bicycling and eating our way through Provence. The bikes are new, well-maintained, and accessories (panniers etc) very nice. The routes are great, spending most of the time on back roads, able to ride long stretches without any vehicles in sight. The hotels have been lovely. The only slight problem was at L’Image in St. Rémy. The hot water stopped working (Carl got a shower, but the hot ran out before I could get enough for a bath). Then we were told the kitchen was “broken”, so we couldn’t have our dinner there, the one night of our trip dinner was included. They quickly offered us dinner at their other hotel, Le Vallons de Valrugues, and provided transportation there and back. It was wonderful, definitely a exceptional meal. Service was excellent. On Saturday, it was pouring rain from early AM, and 50 degrees, so I knew riding would be miserable. We called our local contact, and it was apparent that there would be some logistical challenges arranging transportation from Uzes to Arles. We said we would eat breakfast, go to the market, etc. so we were in no rush. About an hour later, we were told we would be picked up in about 30 minutes. When we called an hour later, they said they had to get a larger taxi to accommodate the bikes and gear, and it would another hour. It ended up fine, we got to Arles in time to walk around, see the sights, go to the Reattu museum. A small delight of getting to Arles earlier in the day than we would have if bicycling, was seeing a North African wedding party dancing in the main square in front of the Hotel de Ville, as another huge wedding party was going in to the building for their wedding. Thanks a lot!

The towns is lovely, the food and wine was excellent , it was always nice to get back on our bikes and head to our next destination over the back roads that separate one farm field from the next. The countryside is fertile with fields of wheat dotted with red poppies. We have passed olive orchards, cherry orchards and fig orchards. We have passed small farms with horses and sheep and there are vineyards everywhere. Every house we have passed has gigantic rosebushes growing up the walls and trellises in beautiful hues of red, yellow and orange. The wild poppies grow profusely along the roadsides and we have a hard time passing without taking picture after picture. On our way, out in the middle of nowhere, we have passed a fig orchard with a small sign advertising “fig confiture”. It was so tastie! My friend Janet has become a huge fan of the chocolate croissants in France. I love the apple tarts. And my other friend Elizabeth enjoys the pastries, but her weakness is the candy shops. Its been a great week. We’ve truly enjoyed our time here. The people have been as lovely as the landscape!
United States
The weather was really bad the last day and matt had two flats in a row. Discover France was really quick to come to the rescue and to drive us to our next spot, the man that picked us up was awesome. The weather has been discouraging and it was disappointing to miss out on the ride, but all and all we’ve been so impressed with Discover France. Such a great tour and the hotels have been so great.
Australia
The bike tour was fantastic on every level. Thank you so much. All the accommodation was great. Staff were friendly and helpful. I really enjoyed the French style of the hotels...they are so beautiful and well organised. The villages we went to were so quaint. Next time I do such a tour I think I will ride every second day so that I would have time to spend in the villages. Biking everyday took most of our time. The bikes were great to ride..very comfortable and I'm so glad I got an e-bike in the end. I think I got the GPS sorted by the last day. Maybe I'm a slow learner or a little more instruction in how it works would have helped. All in all, getting bamboozled by the map and GPS created some adventures and stories. Once again.,.thanks for planning and organising this tour for us. I will be back. ☺☺☺ Regards
Canada
On the whole, an excellent experience, very well organized by you in all respects. Thanks! More specifically: 1. Bikes: Impressive new Ultegra Scotts, thank you! Very happy with their handling throughout. 2. Itinerary : Beautiful and well thought out 4 days (esp. stunning rides on days 1 and 4, I thought) All in all, thank you for a great four days. Stavros
United States
EVERYTHING was fabulous. Bikes were great. Very comfortable. Safe and beautiful routes. It rained one day and it was still enjoyable. Thank you for a wonderful trip. We will recommend you to others and think of you again as we bike through France!
United States
It has been a great trip so far. We're enjoying the cycling and the hotels! Today's cycling route from Uzes to Arles was particularly fun, as we were on the open road so could take full advantage of the road bikes. Thanks again for your help along the way!
United States
We really loved our bike trip in Provence! We would highly recommend your company and the specific trip/route. Some more detailed thoughts: Orientation — our guy was very helpful, spoke good English including the parts of the bike. Showed us exactly how to change the tires, made sure we were totally set up. He was great! Gear — We were thrilled at the quality of the bikes and gear. Our bikes were in excellent condition, loved that they were new full carbon, well-maintained. The saddle bag was perfect size, light weight, portable — we’re probably going to buy the same thing for our own bikes now! None of the other bikers we passed (from different companies) had Garmins, none had carbon bikes…we were way better equipped. The Garmin had a few issues, sometimes it had trouble finding our location, but overall worked well. Would have been helpful to have a pair of pliers in the multi-tool bag, to adjust the zip-ties for the Garmin & odometer. Hotels — It was nice that they all seemed to know the deal with the bikes, luggage, etc. Avignon - Cloitre St. Louis - Overall great, rooms were ok (1st night our room was outdated and a bit smelly, but last night it was more fresh). Nice to have pool. Good location, excellent breakfast in the AM. Uzes - Hostellerie Provencale - We loved this little B&B, the owner Eric was lovely. He had a great home-made breakfast, cute dog, and each room was like a full apartment. Arles - Le Calendale - This place was ok, but not amazing. Our room was tiny. It did have a great location, right next to the Roman stadium. Also had a nice garden. But it was filled with large tour groups, didn’t have the charm of the other places we stayed. We didn’t use the spa, can’t comment on that. St. Remy - Le Mas des Carassins - Loved this place! It was way nicer than I had expected based on their website. Has 2 big pools with new modern furniture. Gorgeous, beautifully landscaped grounds. Peaceful and elegant. Dinner was also great!

We are having a great time so far. We are totally exhausted though! The past two days have been nothing short of lovely, but have taken a lot out of us! The bikes have worked out great and we've been using the combination of written and GPS directions, which has worked well. The Pont du Gard was super cool and Uzes was such a cute town! For the hotels...Patio de Violette was great, the people working there were so friendly, the dinner was delicious, room was comfortable and clean...would definitely recommend it to others. For Hotel du Musee - very cool patio and funky boutique hotel feel... clean room, great location in town. I hope this feedback is helpful! We are looking forward to the next couple days and seeing more beautiful towns, vineyards, etc. Thanks and talk to you soon!
