biking in the Alpilles hills between St. Remy and Eygalieres.  Eygalieres  Provence is
known for its hiking and biking because of its position astride the GR 6 hiking trail and
the quiet country roads that connect Eygalieres with Saint Remy-de-Provence, Les
Baux-de-Provence, Maussane les Alpilles, and Aureille.  Other great hikes are offered
in Saint Martin de Crau, and Fontvieille, fifteen or so miles west and south.

like Eygalieres to other
villages or to vineyard
farmhouses on country
roads or a vast network of
trails through olive groves,
vineyards, and grazing land
of the Alpilles.

same routes used by
the Tour de France
racers.

separate the villages

plentiful.
