That’s quite possible! You can enjoy the comfort and autonomy of our quality electric bicycles in order to fully enjoy your day on the bike.
Gordes
In the heart of the Luberon you can find Gordes which impresses first thanks to its configuration.
Indeed, on the roadside, before your arrival in the village you can enjoy the panoramic view of Gordes.
This breathtaking view of the Luberon and the village is a must to do in our region. Moreover, Gordes is a charming Provencal village, very typical of the region, perched on its cliff.
The panorama over the Calavon valley and the Luberon is breathtaking. Gordes is classified as one of the most beautiful villages in France and has pretty cobbled alleys.
Discover in the small streets many local products. You will also see beautiful art galleries.
The Bories Village
The village of Les Bories not far from Gordes (4 kilometres away) is a kind of natural museum, as if its name suggests, to a multitude of Bories.
Bories, famous in the region, are former shepherds’ huts, dwellings or even storage places. They have been renovated and reproduced similarly.
The Abbey of Sénanque
To complete your discovery we recommend you to visit the Abbey of Sénanque.
So, we recommend to discover it during the flowering of Lavender. The fields surrounding it give it indeed an intense purple colour.
Between Gordes and L’Abbaye, take a steep road that offers many landscapes.
Visits are restricted to preserve the site but you can still admire its beauty.
You will find a very nice cloister as well as some small shops run by the monks.
In other words, this is a stop to have in the area.
