Discover Avignon by mountain bike: practical guide and tips
Let yourself be seduced by the magic of Avignon by bike. In the heart of sun-drenched Provence, this medieval city reveals itself differently when explored on two wheels. Strolling through its narrow streets, skirting its imposing ramparts or following the banks of the Rhône becomes an unforgettable experience, thanks to the freedom that comes with renting a bike in Avignon.
The 241 kilometers of bike paths invite you to discover the city at your own pace. Imagine pedaling leisurely around the majestic Palais des Papes, then stopping to admire the famous Pont d'Avignon rising proudly above the river. With the Provencal breeze in your hair, you continue your ride along the ramparts, silent witnesses to the city's rich history.
One of the most pleasant surprises offered by bike rentals in Avignon is undoubtedly the exploration of the Île de la Barthelasse. This haven of greenery can be reached simply by crossing the Rhône, offering spectacular panoramic views of the city and its monuments. It's the perfect spot for a country-style lunch break before resuming your exploration.
For lovers of longer adventures, the ViaRhôna represents an exceptional opportunity. This cycle route through Avignon takes in the surrounding Provencal countryside, with vineyards, lavender fields and picturesque villages. The canal paths are also a refreshing way to escape the summer heat.
Whether you opt for the VeloPop system and its 300 self-service bikes dotted around the city, or for one of Avignon's many bike rental stores offering equipment to suit every need, you'll easily find what you're looking for. Secure parking and repair stations are also available everywhere, making the experience even more pleasant.
So don't hesitate! Renting a bike in Avignon gives you the freedom to explore at your own pace, to stop spontaneously in front of a shady café, to photograph a surprising architectural detail or simply to enjoy the moment in one of France's most beautiful cities. A few pedal strokes will take you from the historic treasures of the city center to the bucolic landscapes of the surrounding area, giving you an authentic and unforgettable experience of Provence.
Cycling is the ideal way to explore the region! After Avignon, pedal to Marigny-le-Châtel, Les Angles or Loudenvielle to discover the region's varied and authentic landscapes.
