I just returned from the Provence Classic 7 Night Tour, and it was absolutely incredible. Seeing the Pont du Gard and Les Baux de Provence were unforgettable. Each village we stayed in had a slightly different character to it, however my favorites have to be Uzès, Avignon, and St. Rémy. The Van Gogh museum in St. Rémy was very nice. Everything was arranged well by the company, the bikes were great, and the routes were wonderful. They do a great job of keeping you on quiet roads for the most part by the vineyards and fields. Really an all-around wonderful week in this beautiful region.
United States
It was a tremendous experience. In planning the trip, our contact Maggie was very responsive and informative. We chose the basic level hotels and they were all clean, charming, well-located, and the personnel were all kind and friendly. The bikes were great for the ride. We had road bikes with disc brakes that were very helpful for the hills. The GPS and maps worked. The suggested stops along the way were perfect breaks so we could explore Roman aqueducts, monasteries and pottery studios. The countryside was in full bloom as we rode on the quiet roads. Getting out of the towns took some concentration but drivers seem to be more respectful of cyclists sharing the roads than where I live in the US. During our trip Maggie was in contact with us to make sure we were having a good experience. The cost for what we received is truly a bargain. I highly recommend this company and encourage others to do the self-guided trip. I was on a guided bike tour with another company. While I had a good experience, I preferred having more freedom and a more customized trip with the self-guided trip.
United States
The hotels were lovely; we enjoyed dinner at the Hostellerie Provençal in Uzès.. We’ve had some issues with the gps but they were mostly our fault. We’ve been in touch with the local contact a few times, but no complaints! This was the trip I’ve been waiting for for a long time.
United States
We had a wonderful trip. There are many times each day one of us comments on how thorough and thoughtful Discover France has been in the planning of the trip. Whether it's choosing to have our path leave the busy road for a quieter small road through the farm lands or picking a hotel that suits our needs perfectly, your organization has thought of it all. Thanks
United States
I enjoyed the tour very much. The bikes were great, the mistral made the cycling challenging but now I know some tricks to ride in the wind, and the hotels were clean, lovely and the staff very helpful. I think if I were to do this again I would choose to add some days to have more two night stays so I can explore the area a little more. Thank you again for the well organized adventure!
United States
We loved the trip, even as we cursed 30 mph Mistral winds that nearly blew us over. With the exception of the hiccups with the bike, everything went off without a hitch. The Garmin worked ok, but there’s far better technology these days. The hotels were uniformly excellent (Our hands down favorite was the Hostellerie Provençal. Perhaps not quite as elegant as the four star options, but we loved the owners and the friendly and warm atmosphere. The restaurant that they arranged for us (Zanetti) had one of the best meals we ate.) We are already thinking about our next bike adventure. Thanks so much for facilitating our trip.
United States
The bike trip turned out great. Weather was perfect for riding. Bikes and accomodations were top notch. We will definitely book another biking trip with Discover France. Thanks for arranging this one.
United States
We completed our Classic Provence trip last week and I wanted to write you to say thank you—we were very pleased. Sebastian was great, the equipment held up well, we loved having a GPS, it was well-organized. Good information given on the places we went through. We were happy with the hotels. Please pass onto the owner of Hotel Provencale in Uzes that indeed, the dinner we had there was the best of the trip and the gluten free bread he found me was absolutely the best gluten free bread I’ve ever had. Anywhere. The only caveat I’d add was that Jules Caesar in Arles was something of a disappointment. They were very helpful but it just didn’t seem like a five star place. The jarring modern decor was ….rather depressing. We would come back any time and do a Discover France tour. Blessings, Paula Rinehart
United States
We've enjoyed the tours. Provence was wonderful and Alsace is nice too! Several of the hotels in both places have been outstanding. If there's some other way to provide positive feedback that will help Discover France we will do so-let us know how. We see that you have a lot of competition- it seems much more this year. BTW both representatives for the orientations were outstanding. Joe
United States
We are having the BEST time!! I want to move to Provence
United States
The tour went very well, thank you. It was quite hot which made some days a bit difficult but I was very happy with the support we were given. In general the bikes were excellent and the garmin worked very well. I recall that there were a couple of written instructions that contained mistakes, e.g. saying Turn Right rather than Turn Left, but these were recognized and easily managed at the time. We had a bit of drama trying to find our hotel in Uzes. I ended up calling the support line and they were very helpful. Thank's a lot !
United States
We had a wonderful time. Thanks for putting together such a great tour. The mileage was just about right for us. If we were to do this tour again, we would request one less night in Avignon, and a night in Chateauneuf-du-pape. We rode to the village to do some wine tasting, but would have preferred to spend the night so we could do some more tasting. The bikes were excellent, just what we were hoping for, right size and in great condition. This trip, we had much better luck with the GPS. The transfers were all just fine and Fabrice was a good guide. Thank's
United States
We had a wonderful time thank you. The bikes and the organisation were great. No problems with bags, bikes or accommodation. The weather was good too. No rain while we biked and only the last day was a bit windy. We found your company very professional and helpful and we would recommend you to our friends.
United States
Overall we had a very good trip. The luggage transfers were quite good and reliable. The hotels varied but were all good. We particularly liked the hotel in St. Remy – really quite beautiful. The orientation was great and really gave us the information we needed. The bikes were slower than ours back home but were reliable and seemed quite durable.
VARGO

We are LOVING our trip so far. The staff at each hotel have been wonderful and helpful, and the food has been delicious. The weather has been really nice, a little chilly but sunny. Thanks,
United States
The whole trip was utterly amazing. I'm sure I do not have to go into details about the different places on the route, but we were also favored with perfect weather (70 +/-), clear skies, and even a substantial tail wind on the long, flat leg from Uzes to Arles. That, coupled with being there after the Summer tourists had left, made for a perfect trip. Cannot say enough good about the bike/equipment setup. We had only one flat tire the whole time, but felt that the tools, tubes, and especially the pre-programmed GPS provided a very comforting level of confidence for all of us. As far as the hotel accommodations went, the hotels in Avignon and St. Remy were outstanding. The hotels in Uzes and Arles, while more than adequate, were not up to the same level. At each one the staff support we received was excellent and we felt both welcomed and cared for on our journey. All-in-all a great experience. The only problem we are having now is deciding which tour we will be taking next.

Tutto OK Il viaggio e' stato impegnativo per il caldo ma molto meglio cosi che con la pioggia. Esperienza che ripeteremo in futuro Grazie e cordiali saluti Massimiliano Bottacini
Australia
We are having a wonderful time again and enjoying riding in Provence. Really love the accommodation with the pools at the end of the day. All accommodation has been fantastic, roads not as busy as Normandy which is wonderful. Days hotter for ridding. We are a little over with the riding times but stopping lots for photos and site seeing. The one main thing that I would consider an improvement would be to have access to earlier breakfast in the hotter regions. Getting back in before the heat of day is difficult, need to carry a lot of water so the bottles from each tour has been helpful. We have struggled to get breakfast over and out by 8.45 am which means we have been riding after 3pm. If there are big hills and not much shade it's quite a challenge. Over all excellent, we will come again.
Australia
Just returned from a Creperie for dinner after a stroll around Arles. I forgot to mention we made good use of the spa. Everything is just fine. The bikes are great, we couldn't manage without the engine but with with the e-bike the tour so far has been great. Each of the hotels has been special. We had a lot of trouble finding the Hostellerie in Uzes but managed with some help from locals. The route has more cars than is ideal but I appreciate that you have tried to use agricultural roads as much as possible. In general so far it is a great holiday and I am pleased we booked through you.
