      France: Provence – Camargue

      A wonderful boat & bike tour through the wild Camargue nature with its bulls and horses: from the medieval fortress of Aigues Mortes you’ll cycle gradually towards Arles. After that you’ll visit the most typical Provence landscape, including the Rhone Valley, Van Gogh’s Provence and the Roman Pont du Gard.

      Easy cycling in mostly flat areas, with only few short climbs and descents. Little effort required, suitable for most people.

      In this tour you have the possibility to explore by bike the southern part of France. Historically, Provence was important to the Celts, Greeks and Romans, which added to the layers of Provencal life, while in more modern times the Provence landscape inspired artists like Van Gogh and Cézanne. You will cycle along quiet roads with breathtaking scenery and discover many delightful hilltop villages, among vineyards and orchards. Then you will enter the Camargue region, a dramatic river delta, home to flamingos, wild horses and countless bird species. You will find it difficult not to fall in love with these landscapes!

      Depending on the departure date, the trip is offered from Avignon to Aigues-Mortes or in the opposite direction.

You dine, sleep and eat breakfast on board and you can prepare a packed lunch every day. It’s also possible to spend a day on board if you like. There are rental bikes/E-bikes on board.

      Good to know

      Tour program variations: The program has been planned to feature navigation along the Rhone River and Rhone-Sète Canal. Due to organizational reasons, weather conditions or provisions issued by local authorities, the itinerary may be subject to some changes before and/or during the holiday. Issues with high and low water, as well as logistic obstacles such as officially ordered – previously not announced – repair work on locks or bridges can modify some of the daily stretches or overnight stays and may even request a transfer by bus. These decisions are only taken by the barge’s captain.

      Route profile: medium-easy Total length: 2025: 250 km / 2026: 275 km Terrain: 90% tarmac, 10% unpaved 

      The tour is totally in the lowlands during the two stages in Camargue, while the stages north of Arles present some ups and downs, which are however easy to overcome. There is just one more demanding slope towards Les Baux de Provence, but you will be fully repaid with an extraordinary landscape. The itinerary is mostly on secondary roads with low traffic; some short stretches on more busy roads are however inevitable. There will also be a couple of navigation stretches to make the stage more enjoyable.

      Activity level: Leisure cycling in mostly flat areas, with only a few short ups and downs. Little effort required, suitable for everyone.

      Tour leader • English speaking tour leader within an international group. • this tour offers the choice of cycling alone using our App or with the whole group following the tour leader. • holds a daily briefing for both guests who chose the self-guided version of the tour and those who chose the guided version • leads the tour on bike, coordinates the participants and knows how to intervene in the event of unforeseen events (guided version) • is available to advise guests traveling independently (self-guided version)

      Our ships Please do not forget that the ship is your hotel as well as a machine, which has to be maintained and operated – day and night. A certain level of noise is therefore inevitable.
