Cycling in Provence? No sweat! Electric bikes are the easy way to discover the joys of the Luberon

My partner Sarah, our 12-year-old son, Fred, and I were in the Luberon, that sumptuous slice of southern France that retains a sleepy charm personified in its hilltop ‘perched’ villages.

We based ourselves a few minutes’ walk from the spectacular, sleepy village of Gordes.

Our three-bedroom stone-built cottage, La Petite Gordes, contained everything we needed and more, including a cosy TV room, gorgeous pool and plenty of outdoor space.

This particular spot is no longer on the books of CV Villas but there are plenty of other options in the vicinity.

You’ll want to linger in Provence, which is why pain-free cycling is such a good idea. We hired a trio of machines from a helpful shop in the village of Coustellet and, after a brief tutorial, were off.

So what is an e-bike?
