        <![CDATA[ <p><strong></strong>From the peaks towering over 3,000 metres above 
  sea level to the plains of the Pre-Alps, enthusiasts 
  of alpine and cross-country skiing can take advantage 
  of more than 700 kilometres of trails in sunny landscapes
  offer an incomparable diversity of settings: mountain
  pasture and forest, majesty of the highest summits 
  and picturesque perched villages, such is the privilege 
  of the Alpes-Maritimes...
  The Alpes-Maritimes boasts 3 international resorts
  (Valberg, Auron and Isola 2000) and 12 "small family
  resorts" all over the Massif.
  Their assets in terms of snow and sunshine 
  are guaranteed just a 1½-hour drive from the coast!
  After skiing? There is no lack of choice...
  Practice of certain thrilling sports: ice climbing, dog sleigh,
  igloo building in the Mercantour or more simply,
  snowshoeing, ice driving, outings in a horse-drawn
  carriage or a few fitness sessions...
  But also discovering local arts and crafts, culinary
  specialities and historic villages brimming with secret
  treasures (painted chapels, museums...).
  Why not play on the contrast between sea and mountains
  and, in the late afternoon, sit on a terrace on La Croisette
  or Promenade des Anglais, followed by an exceptional
  soiree like those proposed during the Cannes Shopping
  Festival, the Carnival of Nice or the Citrus Festival 
of Menton!</p>
<p><strong>Location: an hour's drive from the sea</strong></p>
<ul>
  <li> 15 ski resorts including 3 international resorts    </li>

</ul>
<p><strong>Spring, summer, autumn...</strong><strong>The mountains of the Alpes-Maritimes: </strong><strong>a fabulous playground</strong><br />
  Once the snow is melted, the Alpes-Maritimes become 
  a wonderful playground for thrill seekers,
  trekkers and sportspersons of all levels. 
  The resorts of the Alpes-Maritimes offer 2 high-altitude
  golf courses, via ferratas and some of Europe's finest
  canyons... Water, land and air are available from 
  April to October.
  New structures enhance the preservation of sites,
  fauna and flora. Especially in the Vésubie Valley and 
  in the Pre-Alps of Grasse with the creation of a Scénoparc®  at Saint-Martin-Vésubie and a private 800-hectare natural
  reserve at Thorenc.
  We should also recall that the Mercantour National Park 
  is in the heart of the department and represents a major
  asset for the protection of the natural and cultural heritage.</p>

      <p><strong>Day One: Pont du Gard 19 B.C.</strong></p>
      <p>Your guides will greet your arrival at Avignon and take you through the countryside to the Gard region, where you will spend two luxurious nights. Toast your welcome with the region's sparkling wine during your bike-fitting, safety talk and map review, then hop onto your bike to spin slowly through scenic villages to the Pont du Gard aqueduct - one of the grandest structures ever built by the Romans. This feat of engineering genius was built in 19 B.C. to carry water from the nearby town of Uzès to Nîmes, and boasts having the largest main arch of any Roman structure. After this outstanding introduction to the journey ahead, we'll cycle back to the hotel, where tonight our chef will delight you with his creative presentation of authentic Provençal fare. </p>
      <p><strong>Meal:</strong> Dinner</p>
      <p><strong>Destinations visited:</strong> Avignon, Pont du Gard &amp; Castillon du Gard or Collias</p>
      <p><strong>Distance cycled:</strong> 33.20 km / 20.6 miles</p>

      <p><strong>Day Two: Uzès Loop</strong></p>
      <p>Vineyards and fortress villages pepper the route to Uzès, a medieval town that is the starting point of the Pont du Gard.  Intense full-bodied reds, fine elegant whites and fresh fruity rosés await your tasting pleasure.  Have lunch in town, speak with the artisans in their studios, wander through the pottery shops, then continue cycling through the region's rugged scrubland and villages of Flaux and Valliguieres to arrive at St. Hilaire d'Ozilhan for a tasting. After a fabulous day of biking and sightseeing, join the guides for an exciting game of petanque (local version of bocce) overlooking the Pont du Gard, and then indulge in a fabulous dinner in Castillion du Gard with our darling friend Mario. He is certainly a character and always a favorite among DuViners.</p>
      <p><strong>Meals:</strong> Breakfast/ Dinner</p>
      <p><strong>Destinations visited:</strong> Uzès, Flaux, Valliguieres, St.Hilaire D'Ozilhan &amp; Castillon du Gard</p>

      <p><strong>Day Three: Gard - Les Baux de Provence</strong></p>
      <p>Cycle past rustic stone churches and through rural countryside before crossing the Rhône River. Climb a beautiful slope to the Abbey de St.-Michel-de-Frigolet where we will enjoy a gourmet picnic. Through the villages of Gravenson and Maillane, past craftsmen hand-painting the tiny santons (traditional in Provence since the 18th century), we will arrive at Les Baux de Provence. Among some of the most spectacular views in the region, natural cliffs and lush greenery lead up to the ruins of a fortified castle. Back at our stunning accommodations, relax by the pool in a grove of olive trees. Tonight is your choice for dinner, but you are warmly invited to join the guides at the famed "Chez Brun", our favorite local pizzeria, where our friends Colette and Bruno have re-invented the pizza.</p>
      <p><strong>Meals:</strong> Breakfast/ Gourmet Picnic</p>
      <p><strong>Destinations visited:</strong> St.Michel de Frigolet Abbey, Gravenson, Maillane &amp; Les Baux</p>
      <p><strong>Distance cycled:</strong> 48.50 km / 30 miles </p>

      <p><strong>Day Four: St. Rémy Loop</strong></p>
      <p>Start with a ride through the crumbling remains of the Roman market town of Glanum - marked by a large Roman arch and memorial tower - to St. Rémy. The birthplace of Nostradamus and favorite inspiration of artist Van Gogh is now a shopper's paradise and a great setting for a café lunch. Choose your favorite traditional Provençal print fabrics and ceramic cicadas from the classic outdoor market. Taste the famous olive oils, and visit Van Gogh's mausoleum before cycling back to the hotel. Tonight, you will experience a real Provence-style meal in Paradou.</p>
      <p><strong>Meals:</strong> Breakfast/ Dinner</p>
      <p><strong>Destinations visited:</strong> Glanum, St. Rémy de Provence, Paradou</p>
      <p><strong>Distance cycled:</strong> 25.80 km / 16 miles</p>

      <p><strong>Day Five: Paradou - Eygalierés</strong></p>
      <p>Enjoy a hearty breakfast with homemade pain au chocolate, croissants and beignets, and then hop on your bike to cycle through Eygalierés to a hidden gem - Le Mas de la Rose. The owner, Fabianne, has transformed this unique villa into a truly luxurious and exclusive place to relax. After our private picnic in the beautifully serene surroundings, you can join us for an extra ride and wine tasting or just relax by the pool.</p>
      <p><strong>Meals:</strong> Breakfast/ Gourmet Picnic/ Dinner</p>
      <p><strong>Destinations visited:</strong> Paradou, Maussane &amp; Eygalierés</p>

      <p><strong>Day Six: Eygalierés - Avignon</strong></p>
      <p>After eating a relaxing breakfast surrounded by olive trees, say goodbye to Provence however you see fit. Take a last loop ride around Eygalierés, sip a traditional French café, and finish your shopping in the spectacular village. We'll see you off at the train station as you head on to your next destination.</p>
