Drôme and Provence on a motorcycle

Riding through the Drôme and Provence means travelling across gently winding valleys, sun‑lit hilltops and classic Provençal villages where olive groves meet mountain roads. Over 4 days and roughly 1,000 km, we set off from Valence and explored this region where the Alps ease into the south, moving from crisp mountain air down towards lavender fields and warmer landscapes. Highlights included passes through the Vercors, the olive‑grove terrain around Nyons and dramatic views near Mont Ventoux.
