Experience the rich history, culture, and landscape of southern France on an e-bike! Have you ever ridden, heart pumping, wind in your hair, up to the gates of a medieval castle, rising from the earth on the tallest peaks, or from the face of a cliff? You can.
Imagine riding across a valley in beautiful weather, fresh air, and surrounded by native flora. You see a medieval castle off in the distance, looking like the lore and legends you heard as a child, only this is very real. You ride to the gates and enter for a tour. Welcome to one day of an Athara Adventures e-biking tour.
During each ride, you will experience a variety of terrain on primarily double-track gravel, paved, and forest trails. You will see vineyards in a Mediterranean climate, then transition to forest with ancient gorges. You will experience challenging and rewarding rides each day, in addition to the experience of being immersed in local culture, eating delicious food, and drinking local wine while laughing and recounting the adventures of the day.
