About this tour
Explore the russet-hued villages of Provence's Luberon region on a guided electric bike ride through 3.5 hours of country lanes and ochre landscapes. Starting from either Apt or Bonnieux, you'll pedal past olive groves, vineyards, and seasonal lavender fields alongside a local guide who knows the terrain intimately. The route traces the famous Ocher Trail, revealing how these pigment-rich hills shaped the villages perched above them. High-performance GIANT e-bikes handle the terrain effortlessly, letting you focus on the scenery.

What to expect
You'll collect your bike and meet your guide at one of two starting points, then head out into the rolling Luberon landscape. Expect steady riding on quiet country roads—the e-bikes do the heavy lifting on climbs, so fitness isn't a barrier. Along the way, your guide will point out how the distinctive ochre geology has defined settlement patterns and village architecture over centuries. You'll see working agricultural land (olive and vine) and, depending on season, wild lavender carpeting the hills. The ride is contemplative rather than strenuous, with time to take in views and ask questions.
Good to know
Bring water and snacks; nothing is provided. The route suits most fitness levels thanks to electric assistance, though cardiovascular concerns warrant caution. Young children can travel in a stroller if needed. Public transport serves both departure points. Allow time before the ride to get fitted properly on your bike.
