Untouched nature awaits you on this cycle and boat trip: Along the banks of the Rhône you cycle through vineyards and orchards, visit ancient masterpieces such as the Gallo-Roman aqueduct, the Pont du Gard, which supplied the town of Nîmes with around 20,000 litres of fresh water every day, or the medieval centre of Avignon. Discover the romantic castle of Barbentane, the magnificent abbey of Saint Michel or follow the paths of Vincent van Gogh. On your round trip in the Camargue, probably the most idiosyncratic part of southern France, you may also encounter a herd of wild horses.

Then you cycle on to the magnificent abbey of Saint Michel de Frigolet and then to the medieval castle of Boulbon. Overnight stay in Vallabrègues.

This stage takes you to Saint Rémy de Provence, the birthplace of Nostradamus. This village is also famous because Van Gogh lived here when he was mentally ill.
