Perfect in Provence
may-sept
"When the Good Lord begins to doubt the world, he remembers that he created Provence." Frederick Mistral
Well there isn't much left for us to say other than this is cycling heaven coupled with great weather!
Provence was a former province of south-eastern France, on the Mediterranean coast east of the Rhône River. It is known to have been settled by the Greeks in the 6th century BC. The area around Marseilles became part of Gaul ( a Roman colony) in the 1st century BC.
It was then united with France in 1481 and is now part of the region of Provence–Alpes–Côte d'Azur.The road conditions in Provence are perfect, no wonder so may cyclists from all over the world flock here... Ohh and the Food and Wine - AMAZING!!
