Highlights
This Provence bike tour is based in Gordes, where you will spend 4 nights in the same hotel of your choice (3 or 4-star accommodations). Standing opposite Luberon, perched on the foothills of the Vaucluse Plateau, the dry stone buildings of Gordes seem to reach for the blue sky. Its fortified chateau from the 11th century and its church dominate the buildings, which seem to melt into the rock. Just a few miles north, is Abbey de Senanque, situated in a small valley and surrounded by lavender fields. If you decide to go south, you can stop to visit an ancient oil press and the Musee du Vitrail, which tells the story of stained and painted glass.On this cycling tour, you will be provided with different itineraries allowing you to discover the many landscapes and villages of Provence, and each day you can choose which ride is better for you: short, long, challenging, easy.

Feedbacks
We had a great trip! The two loop routes we have done so far have been terrific and the hotel Carcarille is well positioned for exploring. Today we had a lot of fun at the Isle Sur La Sorgue market. We appreciate that much of the routes get us o ... ff the heavily trafficked roads. We loved the little narrow roads through the orchards and vineyards on our route today. The bikes are working out well for us. The hotel carcarille in gordes is beautiful with a lovely pool and a terrific restaurant. The staff is excellent. Thanks Gabriel for putting together an awesome trip for us!
