Gita in bici di un giorno da Orange a Avignone

Set off from the historic town of Orange, famous for its incredibly well-preserved Roman theatre (a UNESCO World Heritage site) and plenty of Provençal charm. You’ll head south toward Avignon, a ride of just over 35 km that’s mostly flat with a few gentle ups and downs and roughly 55 meters of total climbing—easy on the legs.

The route is primarily on smooth asphalt and paved cycleways, making for a relaxing journey out of town. You’ll cruise along dedicated bike paths and quiet roads through vineyards, open farmland, and the sleepy villages of Vaucluse. It’s a scenic slice of Provence that’s perfect for a mellow ride.

Your destination, Avignon, is another cultural gem, famed for the striking medieval Popes' Palace and beautiful bridges spanning the Rhône. Plan to linger among ancient city walls and vibrant squares before you head back or hop a train. Don’t forget to take a quick photo at the Pont d’Avignon—one of France’s most iconic landmarks!
