EuroVelo 8 The Mediterranean by Bike: Green Route Cavaillon - Tarascon

The greenway of the Beaucaire to Cavaillon cycle route, which constitutes the 8th stage of the Mediterranean by bike, is an ideal route for families who wish to discover the region by bike. 

With its 39,7 km of flat terrain, this greenway is perfectly suited to cyclists of all levels. To begin your adventure, I recommend consulting the greenway map to plan your route. This will allow you to identify the different stages and points of interest along the way. The map will also make it easy to find available accommodations, such as guesthouses, hotels, campsites, or bed and breakfasts, for a comfortable overnight stay. 

Along the entire greenway, you can enjoy a well-maintained and safe cycle path. The dedicated sections, with their smooth, easy-rolling asphalt, are particularly suitable for families and offer a pleasant cycling experience. You can cycle safely, without worrying about car traffic. 

As you cycle along the greenway, you'll discover beautiful rural landscapes, with cypress hedges, traditional farmhouses, orchards, and market gardens. You'll also follow irrigation canals, offering picturesque views of the surrounding countryside. Urban sections, with housing developments, city streets, and business parks, will allow you to experience local life and the region's typical architecture. Along the way, you'll pass through several villages and towns, such as Tarascon-sur-Rhône, Saint-Étienne-du-Grès, Mas-Blanc-des-Alpilles, Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, Mollégès, and Plan d'Orgon. 

These stages will offer you the opportunity to discover local heritage, visit historical monuments, and savor Provençal cuisine in local restaurants. If you wish to extend your stay, you will find numerous accommodations along the greenway. Gîtes, hotels, campsites, and bed and breakfasts will offer a warm welcome and services tailored to cyclists. You can thus rest and recharge before continuing your journey.
