Pedaling Through Provence
You can explore France’s wine and cheese hubs with a little less guilt—and a little more knowledge— by taking a gourmet biking tour of the countryside. Itineraries are available for both leisurely riders and budding Tour de Francers. Gourmet Cycling Travel leads a six-day journey through Provence that takes bikers over 2,000-year-old Roman bridges and through fields of lavender and thyme, with stops for wine and chocolate tastings, local market visits, and private château cooking classes.
