Bike excursion around Avignon
Hello (again) ! My husband is wondering if anybody can comment on the difficulty of the Avignon bike excursion. This one is listed as Activity 4 | Pace 3. He’s in good shape but we don’t ride bikes often - he’d like to sign up for this one. THX Tauckers!

My wife and I did this ride in May 2022. At the time, we were both nearly 70. I ride a bit, my wife almost never. We both did fine. The ride we took (I presume yours will be similar) took us along the ancient city wall, through back streets to a large market hall where we stopped for a coffee, past the Palais des Papes, then across the Pont Edouard Daladier and through some farmland on an island in the Rhone, with a nice view of the medieval Pont d'Avignon. Totally flat except going over the gently arched bridge. The biggest challenge was maneuverability when going slowly, since we biked through some pedestrian streets that were crowded.

We combined the Savoring France trip with an extra week in Paris and a visit to the Dordogne to see ancient cave paintings (and drink wine). Best trip ever!
Thank you so much @RickS - super helpful! We are VERY excited for this trip!
