As seen in the press...
The highlights of Provence are in pedalling range of a 21-berth Dutch barge: Arles, Les Baux, St Remy, the Pont du Gard and Avignon itself, where the 14th-century Popes lived in magnificent style. To all these treasures, the boat and bike formula adds 15 to 35 miles a day of cycling through the changing landscapes of the Alpilles and the Camargue, with its wild horses and clouds of pink flamingos.
