Overview

You'll have a unique opportunity in Vaucluse to discover a mythical French vehicle from the 60s: the Solex!
Our region's small, paved roads make for great rides at speeds of up to 25 kph.
The slow pace of this moped is ideal for taking your time and enjoying the Provencal countryside, between the Dentelles de Montmirail and Mont Ventoux.

The tour starts in the village of Beaumes-de-Venise.
We'll wind our way through the Muscat vines, a local speciality.
We'll pause to enjoy the scenery and talk about the history of the area.
The tour ends with a wine tasting in a village cellar.
