Toronto, Canada (PRWEB) July 12, 2006 -- Cyclists in the 2006 Tour de France have begun the exciting, unpredictable race through France’s scenic countryside. After cycling’s superstars battle for the yellow jersey, amateur biking aficionados can crank their two-wheeled steeds up the same stages of the famous Tour. HomesAway, the pioneers of the villa vacation, offers a sophisticated private villa that answers the growing adventure travel trend. Guests of the Bastide du Ventoux villa can cycle by day and enjoy five-star treatment by night, including a personal Local Host to arrange everything from private dinners to olive oil tastings.
Perched atop the Mont Ventoux climb of the Tour, HomesAway’s Bastide du Ventoux villa (http://www.homesaway.com/site_a/TS/Homes/BDV/BDV.cfm) offers the quintessential Provencal escape. Gracing the edge of a hilltop village, the 6-bedroom Bastide offers postcard vistas from every floor, window, terrace and balcony. The villa is in proximity to a variety of activities, including wine tastings, open-air markets, scenic villages and historic towns, shopping and antiques. Excellent local restaurants are just steps away.
