Cézanne Cyclo Classic - Aix-en-Provence 2026

The Cézanne Cyclo Classic begins in Aix-en-Provence, a road cycling event for participants interested in classic bicycles, vintage or modern. Its longer route spans 82 km with approximately 1,200 m of elevation gain, presenting a substantial day on hilly Provençal roads, not a flat course. The route travels east from Aix towards the Sainte-Victoire massif, a mountain landscape associated with Paul Cézanne. Participants will ride the Route Cézanne, noted by the event as France’s only classified road. The Classic option covers 61 km with 970 m of climbing, circling Sainte-Victoire from south to north through the Provençal countryside and its villages. This shorter route is intended for those new to the Cézanne Cyclo Classic.
