The Romans stomped all over Europe, but southern France was a favorite. It’s not hard to see why. You’ll cycle along roads that are vestiges of their era, and enjoy hotel plumbing that may also be. That’s a JOKE – we hope....

Despite the Romans’ best road-building efforts, today’s Cévennes remain inaccessible. In a country where north and south are 3 hours apart by TGV, the fastest train needs 10 to reach the heart of these mountains. But the isolation makes for idyllic cycling!

And although Provence attracts throngs, your bike will spirit you away, and show you alone what they all seek.
