Standard, plus and luxury cycling tours Provence and Grands Causses

14 days (active or sporting cycling tour in Southern France), 11 days cycling, half board, in hotels with toilet, shower/bath in room; standard, plus or superior accommodation possible.

The trip focusses mainly on the provence around the Mont Ventoux and the Grands Causses Nature Park in the Cevennes and Gorges du Tarn, but we also adapted the trip to include the Ardeche of you'd opt for a 15 days trip or more in which case we make the trips all customized.
After 7 days cycling in Provence (see the link to the B16 tour below), you will be heading (by train/car) to the Grands Causses for another 6 days biking. You can also make the whole tour cycling.

This long trip can be customized in many ways: From Avignon to Bordeaux or vice versa, from Marseille (Aix-en-Provence instead of from Avignon).

Starting days : any day of the week from march till november.

A biking tour for active or sporting holiday makers who like biking in a mountainous environment. You’ll be in the Vaucluse and Drome Provencale, the Northern part of the Provence where Avignon and the Mont Ventoux area are to be found. After 7 days cycling in the Provence you'll be heading for a five days road cycling or mountainbiking tour in Parc Régional des Grands Causses with the canyons of the Gorges du Tarn, the Gorges de la Dourbie and the Gorges du Trévézel.
An extra challenge for those who would climb the Mont Ventoux in Provence (1900m) as well as the Mont Aigoual (1567m) in the Cevennes; alternative circuits for less sporting cyclists.
