(EMAILWIRE.COM, October 29, 2008 ) Montpellier, France --This Provence multisport tour is a great way to discover Provence - and NOT like any other tour! This itinerary starts in Villeneuve-les-Avignon and visits the culturally rich countryside from Avignon, to the Alpilles and into the Luberon. An “off the beaten path” active trip, guests cycle through the vineyards and forests of the region, hop on a canoe and paddle down the Gardon river, hike through the Provençal mountains, lavender fields and olive-yards, ride a high quality mountain bike on the trails of the Luberon and climb in the trees & zip-line in the adventure park of the Vaucluse… This tour combines several activities to provide a unique way to discover this beautiful part of France!
Chosen as one of the Top 25 New Trips of 2009 by National Geographic Adventure, this trip has captured the attention of everyone. Rather than commit to an entire week of biking, guests will canoe, hike and zip around the Adventure Park to provide a well-rounded itinerary. The distinct honor of being chosen as one of only 25 Best New Trips is well-deserved by Discover France. As the premiere bicycle tour company in France, their familiarity, and presence assure participants the best experience available. The headline of the article is below.

YouÂ’ve got 365 days to work with next year. Our suggestion: take 4, 12, or 28 and do something to change your life. Go for a walk in the Serengeti, learn to climb (with sherpas) in the Himalaya, save a species in New Zealand. The clock is ticking. The world is waiting.
