Join us on a scenic cycling journey from Gordes to Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, passing through the heart of southern France. This ride takes us out of the Vaucluse region and into Bouches-du-Rhône, along a route packed with charm and beauty.
A steep climb leads us to the hilltop village of Eygalières, where breathtaking views of the Durance River Valley, the Alpilles Mountains, and Les Baux-de-Provence await. The ride ends in the artistic town of Saint-Rémy, birthplace of Nostradamus and one-time home of Vincent van Gogh.
If you love Provence cycling, bike touring in France, or exploring beautiful backroads on two wheels, this video is for you!
