Tips from the Community
The Route Verte near Châteaurenard is a real insider tip for anyone who wants to cycle or walk relaxed through Provence. The former railway line has been converted into a well-developed, predominantly asphalted cycle and footpath and leads away from car traffic through orchards, fields, and typical Provençal landscapes.

The crossing of the Durance near Cavaillon is a beautiful section for cyclists. It is best to connect the bridge with the Véloroute du Calavon, a quiet cycle path on a former railway line. The route leads through the typical Provençal landscape with vineyards, orchards and views of the Luberon. A break is particularly worthwhile on the old railway sections and in the small villages along the route.

Cavaillon in Provence is particularly known for its famous melons. A nice tip is to visit the old town with the Saint-Véran Cathedral and climb the Colline Saint-Jacques: from there you have a great view over the city, the surrounding orchards and the Provençal landscape. It is best to combine the visit with a trip to the market to taste regional specialties such as the sweet Cavaillon melons.

The Durance is one of the most important rivers in Southern France. It rises in the French Alps near Montgenèvre and flows through a varied landscape of mountains, valleys, and Provençal plains before emptying into the Rhône south of Avignon. A particularly beautiful section lies between Sisteron and Manosque: here, small villages, hiking trails, and viewpoints invite you to discover nature away from the main tourist crowds. The landscape along the Durance combines alpine scenery with the typical flair of Provence.

Saint-Rémy-de-Provence is a magical place where the sun shines more than 300 days a year, whose light and beauty have captivated Vincent van Gogh and so many other artists. Nostradamus was also born here. The historic old town, with its narrow streets and many lovely shops and restaurants, invites you to take a relaxing stroll.
