Provence Cycling Tour, Episode 283

<div class="entry-content"> <p>Today’s episode of the podcast is a conversation between Annie Sargent and Greer Ball about her wonderful Provence cycling tour. Greer is from New Zealand, I think she’s my first Kiwi guest on the podcast and she was a lot of fun!</p> <p>I don’t know about you but I am ready to day-dream about a nice visit to Provence and I am confident we’ll be able to do that again soon. Soon to me would be this time next year. And why not? It seems doctors and researchers are making great progress in learning how to handle this pandemic.</p> <p>Greer’s cycling tour in Provence has everything you might want: lots of exercise, great meals, a fun group and tour leaders, she loved it and gives lots of tips for a cycling trip to France. The company she used is called <a href= "https://www.facebook.com/ObsureTours/">Obscure Tours</a></p> <p>The tour took them through the towns of Avignon, Remoulins, Pont du Gard, Uzès, Tarascon-en-Provence, Arles, Les Baux de Provence, Avignon, Châteauneuf-du-Pape, the Camargue, Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer, and Montpellier.</p> <p>For my personal update after the interview I’ll tell you about the announcements made by the French Prime Minister and how things are going to change in France after May 11.</p> <h2>Hotel Recommendations</h2> <p>In Avignon they loved the <a href= "https://www.booking.com/hotel/fr/clarioncloitrestlouis.en.html?aid=954523&no_rooms=1&group_adults=2"> Cloitre Saint Louis Hotel</a> where you can have your breakfast around the cloister and has a pool!</p> <p>In Remoulins they stayed at Hôtel Restaurant <a href= "https://www.booking.com/hotel/fr/le-colombier-30210.en.html?aid=954523&no_rooms=1&group_adults=2"> Le Colombier</a> which had great outdoor eating under a big tree for meals.
