Following the Calavon river, this 28km long path was previously a railway track and is a great way to explore the hilltop villages around the area.

This half-day circuit takes you away from the bustle of the city and into the countryside, passing some historical landmarks along the way.

This delightful ride takes you through some of the most beautiful scenery in the area; vast Sault highlands, fields of lavender and golden crops. Along the way you can admire the magnificent views of Mont Ventoux and Montagne de Lure Mountain. You’ll pass through four charming old villages; each one crammed with ancient churches, crooked alleyways, splashing fountains and quaint little squares.

This ride is bursting with colour and vibrant views; starting off in the pretty little village of Roussillon it passes through the vivid landscape of the Ochre region, an area characterised by its deep red soil and golden wheat fields.

Second only to the Gorges du Verdon, the Gorge de la Nesque is one of the most visited and cycled parts of Provence. A stunning hydro geological site with fantastic cliffs, overhanging rock and a long winding river deep in the valley.

The climb of Mont Ventoux is perhaps most well known to those outside of the cycling community as a name associated with the Tour de France.
