Aureille: Les Civadières, Roquemartine, and Les Opies by bike｜France

Guided electric bike tour in the Alpilles Regional Nature Park, departing from the beautiful little village of Aureille.

Every day, I take you on an electric bike along paths and small roads to discover unforgettable landscapes. Electric bikes make it easy to climb hills and explore hidden corners that are inaccessible by car or road bike.

We leave the village by bike and in a few minutes we are in front of the Tour des Opies, the highest point of the Alpilles, for a first photo!

We continue through olive groves towards the Falaises des Civadières, where we may be lucky enough to spot two pairs of Bonelli's eagles...

We head for the magnificent forest road of Roquemartine for a free-wheel descent to the castle of the same name before entering the Vallon des Glauges. We find ourselves cycling through the vineyards of the Domaine Oddo to reach the banks of the Canal des Baux.

We begin our return to Aureille via the GR trail, which offers magnificent views of Les Opies and the Plaine de la Crau. We pass an old 16th-century sheepfold and may be lucky enough to spot some Virginia or Aurélie goats...

After almost three hours of cycling, we will arrive in Aureille, where I will suggest we stop for refreshments at the village bar. Just opposite, the former priory now houses the most beautiful grocery store selling local products in the area! Go ahead and step inside!

As you can see, this is more than just a bike ride. I invite you to enjoy a natural, fun, balanced, and memorable experience!
