Sporting Activities

Being in the hills and not too far from the sea invites many sporting activities, including:

• Learn the game of Pétanque (or boules or bocci) from a local.
• The hills around Provence offer incomparable one-day and multi-day hikes, lead by locals who can guide, keep an eye on changing weather conditions and regale you with stories of Provençal culture on the way.
• Bike with members of a local biking club! Or climb (or descend) Mount Ventoux, the toughest “stage” of the Tour de France!
• Golf was imported by the British when they spent winters here at the turn of the 20th century and there are some spectacular courses in the area. A Season Away VillaHosts can arrange preferred tee times and golf lessons to tune up your game!
• Ever tried off-road four-wheel drive trips? Head into the Provence hills for breathtaking, unspoiled vistas.
• River rafting is fun and good for all ages as the rapids are not too challenging.
