We begin our ride in the fabled town of Saint Rémy de Provence, renowned for its most famous visitor: Vincent Van Gogh. We cycle along the base of the Alpilles mountains, at the juncture where the chiseled limestone cliffs meet the vast olive groves that carped the plains.
Rounding the mountain counter-clockwise, we pass the sleepy villages of Saint Etienne and Fontvieille and enjoy an olive oil tasting on the way.  We then  reach the village of Maussane, surrounded by its silvery olive trees. From here we take seldom-used roads as we begin a climb through the heart of the Alpilles Mountains, reaching the perched medieval village of Les Baux de Provence, for breathtaking views.  
After a visit and lunch, we stop at for a wine tasting in a small family-run wine estate, before returning to Saint Rémy, completing our loop.
