info_outline8 Day Boat and Bike Tour of Provence - Carmargue France
Today we head to one of the most beautiful and popular regions of France, yet away from the busy crowds in the south of France.
We are heading to Provence and the Camargue region, on an 8 day boat and bike tour where we will visit fortresses and Roman ruins, enjoy local wines and cycle past vineyards, orchards and one of the most important wetlands in the world - all with just unpacking ONCE, since you'll be transported by boat between stops!
Birders will see many of the more tha 400 species that visit this area, including the charming flamingos with their comical upside down heads in the marsh as they search for brine shrimp.
You’ll see the best preserved Roman aqueduct in Europe and explore two of my favorite French towns: Avignon and Arles.
As we cycle along the quiet paths, we’ll encounter wild horses and Carmargue cattle. We’ll explore the landscapes made famous by Van Gogh and Cézanne. Along the way, we stop for coffee in charming villages and depending on the time of year you go, you can smell and see the amazing display of lavender so commonly grown in this stunning region.
Today’s adventure is one that anyone reasonably fit can do.
It's a fantastic holiday where you can be active but not have to worry except about whether to indulge in another pastry or glass. But since you HAVE been active - GO FOR IT:)
