Provence Tours & Trips
Wandering through Avignon's Palais des Papes is like stepping back centuries. You can follow Van Gogh's actual footsteps around Arles (he painted here!), taste your way through Châteauneuf-du-Pape's wineries, then explore Roussillon where even the buildings are ochre-colored. Luberon's got these medieval towns on hilltops, and Orange still has a Roman theatre that's used for concerts. Provence just soaks you in sunshine and history.

The trip was excellent, even though it was changed due to strikes, we end up doing the Saône instead of the Rhône, the crew, and the whole team did a great job providing us with a memorable trip.

Best tour companies for Provence tours
Both Explore and Backroads shine when it comes to cycling through Provence, with each bringing something unique to the experience. Our travelers who've gone with Explore talk a lot about their guide Erwin - he gets a lot of praise for making everyone feel at ease and paying attention to individual needs throughout the journey. The way Explore plans their routes really works well; they've clearly put thought into balancing the cycling with cultural stops and rest breaks. While there aren't tons of reviews yet, the ones we have are consistently positive, especially about how smoothly everything runs. Backroads also impresses with their organizational skills and eye for detail. They're particularly good at selecting accommodations that give you a proper taste of Provençal life, and they weave in meaningful cultural activities between rides. Their tours tend to hit that sweet spot between active cycling and really getting to know the region, which makes them ideal if you're planning your first bike tour in Provence. Both companies excel at the essentials - maintaining bikes, planning scenic routes and making sure you're well taken care of. The main difference comes down to their individual styles and specific itineraries, so it's worth looking closely at the daily plans to see which better matches what you're after.

Best time to visit Provence
- Spring 2026
Spring river cruises capture Provence as it wakes up, starting in Lyon where you can duck into those mysterious traboules before sailing to Beaune, the wine capital of Burgundy. The paired villages of Tournon and Tain-l'Hermitage work perfectly in spring - you can taste wines while watching the terraced vines come back to life. Our cycling clients particularly love the spring departures, with just the right weather for riding through places like Saint-Rémy where Van Gogh did his best work. The route from Arles through the Roman sites to St Quentin la Poterie lets you see artisans still working with clay just like their ancestors did centuries ago.

- Summer 2026
Summer heat needs clever planning, as one of our cycling guests pointed out, so we've adjusted our routes accordingly. The tours from Pernes-les-Fontaines through the Vaucluse now start early with plenty of stops in shady villages and cool-off breaks by hotel pools. Lots of people go for the Côtes du Ventoux circuit - you get easy rides through Vacqueyras vineyards and optional tough climbs if you're feeling strong. We give everyone GPS units and paper maps since phones tend to overheat in the Provençal summer sun. Most guests mix morning rides with afternoon culture - maybe cycling to Château Pesquie for wine tasting then relaxing in old Mazan.

- Fall / Autumn 2026
Autumn brings out Provence's harvest traditions, and you'll see it best on our river trips from Lyon to Arles that line up with the wine harvest - fresh pressings in Beaune and Hermitage included. The Luberon walks really come into their own now - those ochre cliffs at Roussillon pop against autumn's blue skies and you might catch truffle hunters working with their dogs in the woods. The cycling gets better too, especially around Mont Ventoux where cooler temps make the climbs more doable. We've got this great route linking Bonnieux, Lacoste, Menerbes and other villages Peter Mayle wrote about, right when the grape and olive harvests are happening.
