Provence

Aix-en-Provence, city of grand departure
For this Ride in Provence, our riders put their bags at the Grand Hotel Roi René - MGallery in Aix-en-Provence. Then head for the legendary Circuit du Castellet with a hilly course, bypassing Sainte-Victoire mountain and its nature reserve, passing through the heart of the communal forests that make up the richness and uniqueness of this region. Small country roads in the middle of lavender fields, the ascent of the Pas de la Couelle and Espigoulier passes before arriving at Le Castellet. A dense menu for this day with multiple landscapes.



A brand ambassador
Richard Virenque, seven stage victories in the Tour de France, multiple best climber in the Grande Boucle and especially the favorite of the French during these crazy years. A legend of French sport, Richard accompanied our riders during these three days of cycling, not far from the roads where he trained when he was a professional. A sharing of experiences and anecdotes that have revived, for some, the emotions linked to the success of this champion.
