Provence to the French Riviera Family Multi-Adventure Tour

Provence and the Côte d'Azur are quite hilly, so come ready to climb! Our biking routes offer a mix of bike paths, city streets and rural roads, with rolling countryside and some steeper climbs. Bikers should be prepared to share the road with traffic, especially in urban and rural areas. While many of the roads lack shoulders, local drivers are generally very respectful and accustomed to sharing the road with cyclists. Our hiking routes lead us through forests, rocky mountain trails, paved and unpaved roads near villages and seaside paths with some stone steps, which can become slick when damp. Some trails are very narrow in places, and include sections with sheer drop-offs. Hiking poles (which Backroads provides) can provide assistance. However, significant elevation gains and losses can make the routes feel more challenging than the mileage may suggest.
