5 days loop starting in Montpellier, doing credit card bikepacking with friends.
Montpellier – Arles (86km)
Arles – Roussillon (86km)
Roussillon – chateauneuf du pape (100km)
Chateauneuf du pape – Uzès (65km)
Uzès montpellier (96km)
Decided to cover a bit less distances than last time to have enough time to also enjoy the places we stop at, such as Gordes, Avignon, pont du Gard, fontaine du Vaucluse…
Mainly roads. A bit of gravel. Used the "cycling" option, on Komoot, instead of gravel or road cycling to have a more balanced experience and it worked well overall.
Very nice trip. Good food. Friendly people on the way. We took our bikes (packed) from Brussels with the TGV Inoui. Was easy on the way there. A bit more complicated on the way back because some people were already in the train when we entered this time

I have a fantasy of touring in France. A long way from here.
Very nice. It would be cool if we made a directory with links to gpx files for the trips everyone’s doing, it’d save a ton of time for anyone looking to travel somewhere.
Lovely! Another +1 for a route directory. Did you take road or gravel bikes for this trip?
Southern France is pure bliss. It’s my dream as well.
Awesome, got a few french trips planned for the future. This has added some inspiration
