What is it?
Terroir and nature, the stay is 100% in line with the seasonal produce. Accommodation in a Mas (Provençal house) surrounded by vineyards and olive trees, guided tours through the vineyards by electric bike, Nordic walking and tasting of local products are on the menu!
During this tour, the electric bike rides take us to the discovery of the famous Nyons olive, the black gold of the Mediterranean regions. We will go on small roads along the orchards of olive trees and autumn vines, those that give beautiful orange colors to landscapes. We will have the opportunity to get lost in charming villages, sometimes perched, in the colors of Drôme Provençale. It is also planned to go to the discovery of olive growers and olive oils makers which may pass us the secret of their expertise!
Throughout the year, this series of short stays on the theme of "local produce & electric bicycle" highlights the seasonal flavors and the cycling and pedestrian discovery of the Drôme Provençale. Not far from the Rhône Valley, but already neighbour with pre-Alpine region and the Mont Ventoux, the area offers a multitude of landscapes, leisure and outdoor activities. Your base for this "radial stay": a beautiful charming farmhouse in the hills of Nyons, surrounded by vineyards and olive trees.
