Biking to our Favourite Breakfast Spots in the Vaucluse

Over the last 3 weeks, Andy and I have covered nearly 2000 kilometres & climbed nearly 26 kilometres between us on our bikes.

That’s not through us setting out to do anything particularly, and it certainly hasn’t resulted from us setting ourselves a target, but simply because we like to go out for breakfast as part of our ride. And it’s amazing just how far we’re willing to go for a good cup of coffee & a decent croissant, so I thought I’d share some of our favourites.

Continue reading here to see Julie’s photos of some of their favourite breakfast spots in the Vaucluse. They head out on their bikes in different directions for espresso or café creme and tempting pastry. Some rides are “easier” than others, but whether it is 1 hour uphill to from Simiane la Rotonde or a rolling ride to Bonnieux or Gordes, one has to be impressed with their early morning stamina.

Julie and her husband Andy started visiting the Vaucluse area 25 years ago & over the years have increased the amount of time they spend there with their growing family. She has a deep affection for the area, finding it is a great place to visit, where the whole family can relax and enjoy time together.

She longs for the day when she can ‘up-sticks’ from her home on Dartmoor & relocate to the Luberon and spend her days cycling, walking, visiting markets & brocante fairs and of course enjoying the local food and drink.

Her blog VaucluseDreamer gives her a space to highlight some of her favourite things about the area from places to visit to particular activities that she and her family all enjoy.

She hopes one day it will be a place where she can share the process of renovating a house in France, but at the moment that will have to wait.
