Provence by bike is a scratch-and-sniff painting: lavender around Sault in July, vines and ochre cliffs near Roussillon, plane-tree avenues strobing overhead. The Luberon's waymarked loops link hilltop villages close enough that no day needs to exceed 40 kilometres, though the climbs into them are honest — this is the one trip where the e-bike upgrade earns its money. Mont Ventoux will loom on the horizon; you are under no obligation. Markets replace museums here, so shop accordingly.
