Stay slim in Provence

If you dread standing on the scales after a gastronomically delightful European holiday, try exploring Provence on a bicycle.

Peregrine Tours have a nine-day cycling tour to satisfy travellers who want real local food, lots of gorgeous scenery and pedal power.

Accommodation is in family-run hotels which offer local cuisine and have well-stocked cellars.

The tour-only price is $2670 each.
