CYCLING
With near-endless sunshine and some killing hills to climb, not to mention storybook
scenery en route, Provence is ideal two-wheeling territory. Some walking trails are open to
mountain bikes, and those keen to tackle the region's roughest mountain terrain should
hightail it to Haute-Provence.
Cycling itineraries of various lengths and difficulties can be picked up at rental outfits
and tourist offices.
Road and mountain bikes can be hired for around €15 a day including helmet, puncture-
repair kit and suggested itineraries. Children's bikes (around €12 per day) and toddler seats
(around €5 per day) are also widely available. Some outlets deliver to your door for free.
