Tours of Provence
Welcome to Provence! Here at Intura, we have created a wide selection of self-guided walking and cycling Provence tours that take in the stunning landscape, the hidden gems, the local culture and way of life of the sunny south of France. The hiking trails and cycling routes of our tours of Provence have been tried and tested by our team of track finders, experts of the destination. They have walked and peddled their way around the region and come up trumps in their efforts to create some of best self-guided trips.
Provence is located in the south-east of France, not far from the Mediterranean coast. Access is easy, you can travel by high-speed train from Paris to Avignon in just 3 hours and regular trains run from Aix en Provence and Marseille as well as flights into/from Marseille international airport. It is an agricultural region, famous for strawberries, melons, apricots, cherries, olives, lavender, and of course, wine.
