”Wow, what a beautiful country! Stunning scenery and I just love the little villages…it’s like a time warp. You can tell the cycling routes have been thoroughly researched. I’d recommend First Light to everyone I know.”

Kate, UK, Prague to Vienna Greenways


Overview
Cycling in Provence sits high on any vacation must-do list. Artists and writers love coming here. Hemingway, Picasso, Cezanne, Van Gogh – all came to Provence to work and live, and bike, even if it was only to the boulongerie for more croissants.  It's easy to see why they came - surrounded by the fragrant scent of Provencal herbs, the Côtes du Rhône wines and the warmth of the Mediterranean sun.


The unique character of the attractions and geography– the Arles bullring, Alpilles limestone cliffs, Orange’s 10th century Roman architecture, Avignon’s walls and the bastide villages of St. Remy de Provence and Chateauneuf du Pape – have inspired artists and writers through time. This will be your experience as you cycle into and around the region and stay within the walls of many of these historic places.

The Spanish influenced Camargue wetlands, sun-drenched vineyards and azure skies combine with market towns like L’Isle Sur la Sorgue and Uzes to tantalize your senses. Your lodging is along river banks, overlooking valleys and wonderful hotels in old town centers, chosen for comfort and quality. The food is incredible, classically Provencal and unforgettable.
