Discover a different side of Provence beyond its famed lavender and thyme: explore the region on a multi-sport adventure combining hiking, cycling and kayaking. These active treks are ideal for travelers who want to move through Provençal landscapes, sample local culture and enjoy outdoor pursuits in one trip.
Professional adventure travel specialists at Austin Adventures tailor each itinerary to match guest interests and fitness levels. In addition to the core activities—walking, biking and paddling—participants can add optional pursuits such as horseback riding, paragliding, parasailing, windsurfing, fishing and rock climbing for a more varied experience.
Highlights on the itinerary include a picnic and climbing session among the limestone cliffs of the Alpilles, a scenic cycling route from Eygalières to Cavaillon, and a visit to the impressive Roman-era Pont du Gard aqueduct near Remoulins. Guests also enjoy shopping at Saint-Rémy’s lively open-air market and capturing panoramic photos from the rocky heights of Les Baux-de-Provence.
Tours run seasonally from April 12 through October 11, offering spring, summer and early autumn departures when the weather is most pleasant for outdoor activities. Pricing for the five-night program starts at $3,698 per person based on double occupancy. The rate covers the core itinerary; travelers should note that non-designated meals, gratuities, alcoholic beverages, air or land travel to Avignon, and any pre- or post-trip accommodations and personal expenses are not included.
This multi-sport trek is suited to active travelers who appreciate a mix of cultural sightseeing and physical challenge. With customizable add-ons and professional guides, the program provides flexibility for families, friends and small groups seeking an immersive Provençal experience that goes beyond the region’s postcard scenery.
