From Aigues Mortes to Avignon or Avignon to Aigues Mortes
A wonderful bike and boat tour through the wild Camargue nature with its bulls and horses: from the medieval fortress of Aigues Mortes you'll cycle gradually towards Arles. After that you'll visit the most typical Provence landscape, including the Rhone Valley, Van Gogh's Provence and the Roman Pont du Gard.
Aboard Caprice and L'Estello. This trip operates in reverse on alternate weeks.
The programme has been planned to feature navigation along the Rhone River and Rhone-Sète Canal.
Terrain: 95% asphalt, 5% unpaved. The tour is totally flat in the lowlands during the two stages in Camargue, while the stages north of Arles present some ups and downs, which are however easy to overcome. There is just one more demanding slope towards Les Baux de Provence, but you will be fully repaid with an extraordinary landscape. The itinerary is mostly on secondary roads with low traffic; some short stretches on more busy roads are however inevitable. There will also be some navigation stretches to make the stage more enjoyable.
