Provence tour
1. PROVENCE TOUR 2011 “I had imagined Provence as beautiful, gently refined, and hypnotic. I planned on spending seven days there stupefied with food and wine, rolling through the purple visage of lavender fields. Instead, I found a harsh, vertically-defined landscape. This was not the France of gentle postcards and feast-filled guidebooks. This was Haute Provence, the 1900-square-kilometer Geological Preserve where gorges sliced through crazed mountains and made driving a roller coaster adventure”.

3. PROVENCE TOUR Weather - What's it like?? With its Mediterranean climate, the area enjoys arguably the best weather in France, with up to 300 days of sunshine per year, and little rain.Overall its great weather for cycling. Spring (from March) - usually means great cycling in Provence and you could be forgiven for thinking it's Summer with temperatures between 16 & 23c. It will probably be warm enough to wear short sleeves & shorts during the day.Early mornings and late afternoons can be fresher, so long sleeves and leggings may be needed then.You could get the odd shower, so rain/wind jackets need to be brought just in case. Provence is famous for the mistral wind, thankfully it's weaker in the Luberon valley than in many other areas.A normal wind speed is situated between 20 & 45 mph. It can make cycling harder but rarely is it a show stopper. Bring a wind jacket just in case.Its a dry wind that chases the clouds away bringing nice bright sunshine, so it's not all bad - its most frequent in Winter and then Spring
