Top places you'll see
From legendary mountain giants to golden hilltop villages and ancient Roman engineering, this Provence route overflows with postcard-perfect sights—these are our absolute favorites.

Mont Ventoux
Known as the "Giant of Provence," this iconic mountain rises dramatically above the landscape, offering one of the world's most legendary cycling climbs. Start through lush forested switchbacks from Bédoin, then emerge into a stark, otherworldly moonscape near the 1,912 m summit, crowned by a distinctive meteorological tower. A bucket-list challenge made famous by the Tour de France, it delivers sweeping panoramic views and an unforgettable sense of achievement.

Gordes
Perched high on a rocky outcrop in the heart of the Luberon, Gordes is one of France's most beautiful hilltop villages. Its golden stone houses cascade down the hillside in perfect harmony, with narrow cobblestone streets, art galleries, and breathtaking vistas over the valley below. This medieval gem, bathed in warm Provençal light, is especially magical at sunset.

Gorges de la Nesque
This dramatic limestone canyon, carved over millennia by the Nesque River, features sheer cliffs soaring up to 600 feet high. Pedal along quiet roads with jaw-dropping panoramic views of rugged rock formations and deep valleys, a pristine showcase of Vaucluse nature that feels wild and timeless.

Bonnieux
A charming medieval hilltop village in the Luberon, Bonnieux delights with its winding cobblestone streets, art galleries, and cafés overlooking rolling vineyards, cherry orchards, and distant hills. This perched beauty offers a perfect taste of authentic Provençal village life amid quiet, scenic roads.

Pont Julien
This perfectly preserved 2000-year-old Roman bridge arches gracefully over the Calavon River, a living testament to ancient engineering. Cycling across its timeless stone feels like stepping back in time, with serene countryside views and a sense of history under your wheels.

Fontaine-de-Vaucluse
Nestled in a steep valley around one of Europe's most powerful natural springs, this enchanting riverside village combines dramatic gorges, clear emerald waters, and charming stone buildings. It's a peaceful, scenic highlight perfect for a relaxing pause amid Provence's rugged beauty.

Luberon Hilltop Villages (including Ménerbes, Oppède le Vieux & Lacoste)
Wind through a chain of timeless perched villages along the Luberon ridge, each with medieval stone architecture, quiet winding roads, and sweeping views of orchards, vineyards, and rolling hills. From the artistic charm of Lacoste's château to the tucked-away ruins of Oppède le Vieux, these spots embody the romantic soul of Provence.
