Our destination is Aix-en-Provence - a truly lovely town that has been linked with many great artists. Looming close by is the famous and dominant Mt Ventoux and for some the opportunity exists to tackle this wonderful climb.

We will finish on the Promenade des Anglais at around 4pm where you will be greeted by the welcoming team and raise a glass!
