The Provence It is a favorite destination of Italian riders and is not too difficult to guess at the reasons. In what is after all a short distance, we find a variety of ideal situations, quite “exotic” to make us feel foreign at the same time “home”.
Provence and motorcycles, perfect wedding
This is not the first time I go to Provence in motion. In the past I have boundless several times to raids longer or shorter on the French Riviera and the Alps, not to mention the famous Verdon Gorge, whose report continues a period of time to be one of the Top of this Blog.
But this time my goal was to build an itinerary that touch points of historic and artistic interest such as Aix en Provence, Arles, Avignon and to take me up in Camargue dove – the bike – I was not yet. Finally I wanted to take a peek at even Luberon Park.
A journey of a thousand
As I described in the article on the itinerary, Provence – or better, the region of Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur – It is a vast territory from the Rhone up to our borders, and offers a wide variety of situations. A week is not enough to visit it all as it should be, pausing to know the town quietly (and shooting video!), but it is enough to test a good deal and do not want to go home.
With which bike I made the journey?
I faced this route from Milan, in to a saddle Triumph Bonneville T120 Black and… I'm loving it. Below are the Video review after the 2.000 km along. It is a classic and beautiful bike that the immortal charm of Bonnie adds some features that are appreciated when doing tourism: sixth gear, greater torque at low, more powerful braking.
I can say that not only was a great companion, but He added an even more special taste this trip to Provence and offered a privileged point of view.
How to organize a trip to Provence?
You can pick up and leave without thinking too much about, certain to find forever the street and still a good place to stop to eat, sleep or take a picture.
Or you can study the map and find your preference.
I made a little’ and a little'. That I scored points on the map I wanted to tell in the video, while the streets have given a blind eye to those who seemed the best compromise between driving time and taste but I let the route it would create along the way.
This is mainly because I have prioritized the need for video and tour of the city: maybe not but seems to shoot a video like this also takes several hours on foot in the historic centers… 😀
Fundamental tools for the organization of the trip was for me the sites of local tourism organizations, all very rich in information and details. I was able to plan all the visits and activities. For convenience you share them below:
- Ente French tourist
- E Antibes Juan Les Pins Tourism
- Aix En Provence tourism
- Arles Tourism
- Avignone Tourism
For all practical information about where to sleep or eat well, I send you back to’article devoted more specifically to the itinerary. Not that I rest thank you for seeing the video and, If you liked, share it with your contacts!
Ci vediamo la prossima e mi raccomando… Gas, but responsibly!
