Celebrated by poets and writers
such as Frédéric Mistral and Alphonse Daudet, painted
by Vincent Van Gogh, Auguste Chabaud, and many others, the Alpilles
range is fascinating.
|
|||
| Our route will take you on very quiet roads around the Alpilles. You'll bike through some of France's prettiest villages: Saint Rémy de Provence, Les Baux de Provence, Fontvieille, Eygalières, Maussane les Alpilles, Tarascon, and Arles. | |||

| Itinerary: | |||
|
Day 1: Avignon - Saint-Rémy-de-Provence (25 km or
15 miles) |
|
| Day 2: Saint-Rémy-de-Provence - Arles (46 km or 29 miles; 56 km or 35 miles with the extension through les Baux-de-Provence ) | |
|
On easy trails or small roads, you'll be biking at the foot of the mountain range, through fields of olive trees and vineyards--if you choose, you can stop for a wine tasting--the scenery is breathtaking. Overnight in Arles, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. |
|
| Day 3: Arles - Graveson (45 km or 31 miles) | |
|
Sites will abound along this scenic route. You'll bike through Fontvieille where Alphonse Daudet's Windmill is located, Tarascon and its castle--one of France's best-kept medieval fortress--and home to Souleiado, the Provencal fabric maker (it is possible to visit). Overnight in Graveson. |
|
| Day 4: Graveson - Avignon (23 km or 14 miles) | |
|
Your ride back to Avignon will take you through "La Montagnette" ("the small mountain" in French) offering superb views over the area. The magnificent--and yet overlooked by many--Frigolet Abbey and Barbentane castle are some of the highlights that can be visited before reaching Avignon. |
