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 …

Bike Riding around the Lavender Fields in Provence

Early July is the peak of colour in the lavender fields surrounding us. Whilst I cycled it would be a very pleasant drive and encompasses some spectacular scenery. From Saint Saturnin Les Apt, I took the D179 towards Rustrel and then turned left onto the D34 which takes 12 kilometres …

Biking Routes in Provence: Riding from Maussane-les-Alpilles to Eygalières

Val and I are back in France for the spring, in St-Rémy-de-Provence. One of the things we enjoy most about this area is biking. St-Rémy is right next to the Alpilles, a low mountain range with rocky outcroppings. Well, to call the Alpilles “mountains” is a bit of a stretch, …
