Bike, Wine, Food and Lavender Fields of Provence – Jun. 15 – 22, 2025

This is our exclusive bike tour of Provence during Lavender season. It is by E-Bike! If you don’t know what an E-Bike is.an electric bike (e-bike) is a bicycle with a motor and battery that helps the rider when pedaling. E-bikes are designed to help riders go farther and faster than traditional bikes, and can make it easier to manage hills and rough terrain. They can also be used to pull small trailers. The motor’s purpose is to augment human power, not replace it. E-bikes can help riders go farther and faster, manage hills, and keep up with traffic. There are no mountains on this tour and minimal hills so anyone can take this tour if they know how to ride a bike! We stay at some incredible local hotels in Provence that have unique charm for you to enjoy.

Imagine riding thru the countryside of Provence during the height of when the Lavender fields are in bloom. Then ending the evening at a local winery for a wine tasting. A van takes your luggage from hotel to hotel so you just ride the bike and enjoy the view! A bike ride thru the French countryside is on many bucket lists and to do it in Provence and the lavender fields makes it all the more memorable! But we are limited to just 30 people on this tour with just 10 needed to make it go. So sign up now and reserve your spot!
