France is my favorite place to cycle, and I have done trips in many of its regions. Plus, my first trip with Exp+ in ”99 was Provence, but the itinerary is now quite different. I loved it once again 18 years later. Who knows what lies ahead – for now I”ll just continue to savor my Provence bike tour!
