| Description |
In some ways, Provence requires no introduction. We all have ready images of its bucolic landscapes painted purple with lavender, of gnarled olive trees, majestic cypresses and that magical light made famous by Van Gogh. This Provencal journey begins in the natural reserve of Camargue where you’ll be surrounded by vast plains and lagoons. Continue through Provence to explore the vines in Beaucaire, visit the most well preserved Roman bridge in France and dine on delicious local fare. This region of Provence truly can’t be missed. |
Crisscrossing three countries, this whirlwind tour between two of Europe’s most celebrated capitals squeezes unique culture, delectable food and drink, stunning scenery, wild nightlife, and centuries of thrilling history into seven days without ever feeling rushed. Browse the galleries and museums of Paris and gape at the Swiss Alps' natural beauty, all for less than you’d ever dreamed possible. |
Day 1
Begin today with a ride surrounded by the unbelievable landscapes of the Camargue, a natural reserve. Stop for lunch at Pica-Pica, a seafood restaurant where we’ll have the opportunity to taste local oysters from the Etang de Thau, a lagoon nearby.
Day 2
Ride to a bull farm to enjoy a picnic lunch in the fields, surrounded by bulls (who are of course, a “fence” away!) This afternoon you’ll have some time to relax but we’ll start the evening early with a very unique event involving the hurdling of ferocious bulls.
Day 3
Spend the morning exploring the city of Arles then we hop on your bike and head out of the Camargue toward Gard country. We'll enjoy a picnic lunch at a famous wine domain before heading to our home for the night.
Day 4
Start the day with a ride in the countryside of Costières de Nîmes and continue to the Pont du Gard, the most well preserved Roman bridge in France. Tonight, enjoy a tour of our final destination, Uzès.
Day 5
Today we begin with arguably the best ride of the week! A scenic adventure through lush forests of oak trees and open views of the valley.Tonight’s dinner will truly be a culinary experience brought to you by Chef Christophe Ducros.
Day 6
After breakfast we will drive to the Avignon train station in time for your train to Paris. Bon voyage!
Day 1 Paris
Arrive at any time. Tonight, you won’t need to go far for Paris to sweep you off your feet, because after all, it is the City of Love. Head to your hostel’s bar with your CEO and group to kick back and grab drinks in celebration of the first day of your grand adventure.
Day 2 Paris
Picnic in front of the Eiffel Tower; opt to visit Notre Dame Cathedral or explore Montmartre.
Explore and discover the “je ne sais quoi” of the City of Lights. Paris has something for everyone and you can use your day here to picnic under the Eiffel Tower, explore the outstanding museums and churches, float down the Seine on a river cruise or people watch at one of the charming cafés.
Day 3 Paris/Interlaken
Travel from Paris to Interlaken, a small city in the Swiss Alps with breathtaking scenery.
