Book excerpt: An E-Guide for the inquisitive, bicycling tourist centered in the Provence Region of France around the Luberon, the Vaucluse Plateau and their valleys, plus routes from Digne-les-Bains and to the edge of the Gorges du Verdon. Why Provence and the Luberon? For beauty, history and lifestyle. Motorists are courteous to cyclists. Buy farm goat cheese, a bottle of wine at a vineyard or sausage in a morning market. Ride across a 2,000-year-old, stone bridge or photograph a château from the Middle Ages. A long list. You will return. Details are here for unstressed travel to this area, arriving relaxed. Includes data on selecting a community, gîtes, bikes, renting a vehicle, driving in France, what to bring, buying groceries and a bit on restaurants. 16 routes are mapped and profiled. Each one reviews a few villages and points of interest. All are on paved roads with light vehicle traffic. All photos, route maps and village detail maps are in color.
