RIDE & REVIVE PROVENCE
The rolling hills, lavender coated fields and famous vineyards of Provence offer not only renowned culinary experiences, but also some of the most epic cycling routes in the world. Among them Mont Ventoux (1911m) the iconic “Giant of Provence,” a massive limestone crag visible from miles away, is a climb we believe every cyclist dreams of taking on at least once in a lifetime. This peak has become famous as one of the most challenging climbs of the Tour de France. Imagine yourself riding this legendary alpine route.
After our daily rides a relaxing session of yoga with its deep stretches and breathing will help our bodies and minds to relax and revive. Our luxurious country villa is situated just outside of Vaison la Romain, a historic Roman jewel, who’s delights and delicacies you will have the opportunity to explore in the afternoons. And together in the evenings we will feast on amazing Provencal food and wine. Join us for this epic spring adventure!
WHO IS IT FOR
This adventure is for men and women, who want an active, invigorating break from their daily lives.
