Overview
Amid the wilderness of Camargue and the landscapes that were so dear to Van Gogh, this bike and boat tour in France features delightful Provençal villages, vineyards, and fields of sunflowers.
You can begin in Aigues-Mortes - a completely walled town that has changed little in appearance since its glory during the Middle Ages - and end in Avignon - a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Or you can begin in Avignon, though once here, you will not want to leave. Avignon is ancient, full of history, life, youth, art, music, and activity. You could wander the narrow streets inside the fortified walls for days without tiring of them.
By day, pedal the most typical Provence landscape, including the Rhone Valley, Van Gogh’s Provence, and the Roman Pont du Gard, and, by night, enjoy your floating accommodations!

Extra Info
Skill Level — Easy–Moderate
The route is mainly on country roads with little traffic and traverses the lowlands during the two stages in Camargue, while the stages north of Arles present some ups and downs, which are however easy to undertake. There is just one more demanding slope of approximately 4 km towards Les Baux de Provence, but your reward is the extraordinary landscapes. The northern wind in Camargue, the legendary “Mistral” the master of the winds, can factor into the difficulty level. Terrain is 95% tarmac and 5% unpaved. More traffic is encountered when entering or exiting towns and cities. Routes average 28 to 34 miles (45 to 55 km). This tour offers you the opportunity to choose each day if you would like to cycle on your own utilizing the detailed route descriptions provided or to cycle with the tour guide and the group.
Airport Info
Fly into Paris Charles de Gaulle International Airport (CDG).

Fabulous trip on L'Estello. Food was the best so far on a Tripsite adventure. Hein, our guide was politically incorrect and was fabulous. Our group of 8, in our 60s and 70s rode city bikes. The other 10 in our group rode eBikes. We had no problem but unless you are a strong, confident rider, I'd recommend eBikes.
- When did you take this tour?
- 4 October to 11 October, 2025
- How did the difficulty level compare to your expectations?
- Easy to medium. The Mistral windfrom the north, increased the challenge level.
- Do you recommend this tour?
- Yes

This was an awesome bike/barge trip! The bike routes were interesting and beautiful. Our guide Helmut was excellent - keeping us safe while biking and giving us information on the places we visited. He was very patient and helpful. The bikes were well maintained and my E-bike was charged and ready to go all week.
The Caprice barge was clean and efficient. The rooms were small but have shelves and under the bed drawers that were great for organizing clothing etc.
The crew was wonderful and the food was delicious.
I really enjoyed this experience. Definitely will do a barge and bike tour again!- When did you take this tour?
- August 2025

Everything was great from start to finish. Giorgio our guide was amazing. He was the only guide for the entire group. His techniques our having a “ corner” person to direct us when we made a turn out as well as a sweeper to be the last person to make sure that we were all together. Kept everyone safe and together. He was very humorous. He had lots of information and history of everywhere we went. He always had his eye out to make sure that we were happy we were content, and we were enjoying the trip. He took any information that we gave him in regard to our needs very seriously and did everything he could to make us happy and comfortable, and he succeeded beyond belief. The chef Sylvia had our elves watering from breakfast all the way through dessert. She always had a smile on her face saying while she cooked it was a true passion of hers, and it showed in the quality of the food as well as the presentation. Emma our steward took care of all of our needs again with a smile on her face. There wasn’t anything that was asked for that she did not deliver. This crew was absolutely amazing and they made the trip more than I could’ve expected.

Wonderful cycling among so many vineyards, orchards, and beautiful small towns. We particularly loved Avignon, wine tasting in Chateau Neuf du Pape, the beautiful Pont du Gard, a little Van Gogh in St. Remy and Arles, and the surprisingly attractive town of Aigues Mortes- no dead water there! Our favorite part was the ride was to Les Baux- made significantly easier by our decision to concede to age and use e-bikes. The boat is small and the cabins a bit cramped, but we weren't there to hang out indoors. The crew was excellent, particularly Micaela our guide and Alice the do everything steward. We had a great mix of shipmates, hailing from Canada, Australia, the UK, energetic Brazilians, and a few Americans. All together a great week!
