About this tour
Pedal an electric mountain bike through the Provençal countryside surrounding Aix-en-Provence on this three-hour guided ride. Following routes that inspired Cézanne and other artists, you'll climb steep terrain with electric assistance, stopping at viewpoints across roughly 25 kilometres of rolling hills and mountain passages. Your guide shares stories about the landscape's cultural heritage, art history, and local character—or keeps conversation light if you prefer. It's a casual exploration of countryside that's equal parts visual feast and physical engagement.

What to expect
You'll collect your fitted e-bike, helmet, and water, then roll out of central Aix within minutes. The route covers roughly 25 kilometres with pronounced elevation changes; the motor handles the grunt work on climbs, but you're still riding actively. Expect frequent stops at vantage points where your guide can talk through the landscape's connection to Cézanne's work, or you can simply catch your breath and shoot photos. Weather dictates pace and comfort—dress for cycling conditions year-round, bring gloves in winter. The experience is deliberately unhurried; this isn't a race.
