Haute Provence Cycling
11 Days
This is a special tour in an unusual region, and together they constitute a unique opportunity. Join us for this Randonnée Remote tour. Randonnée Remote designates more challenging cycling tours that take you to regions more rugged and remote. Voyage to Haute Provence, a region of the pre-Alps, where the ambiance is definitely Provençal. Climb over low passes, descend with wild mountain streams and pedal through lost villages. But this is France, and the inns are cosy and the food and wine fantastic, even in this back country. Have fun riding bike where it is best.
